How to log in to your WatchGuard router
- 1 Connect PC to Firebox Interface 1 (Trusted).
- 2 Set static IP 10.0.1.2 on PC.
- 3 Open https://10.0.1.1:8080 in browser.
- 4 Log in with Username: admin and Password: readwrite (status user: readonly).
If you forgot your customized admin password or cannot reach the web portal, locate the physical RESET pinhole button on the back of your WatchGuard router. While powered on, press and hold the button with a paperclip for 10 to 15 seconds until the power LED begins flashing. Release the button and wait 2 minutes for the unit to reboot with factory default credentials (User: admin / Pass: readwrite).
