True, I didn't mention that the manual's gone missing.  But I thought
that fact would be obvious and not in need of explaining.

As soon as I get a new product, I get a PDF version of the manual and
store in a specific database. Some manufacturers are reluctant to
provide a PDF version, but the effort means I always have access to the
original instructions.


Two things I've learned from this:

In addition to noting the new password you give to a device, also note along with it the default password to it. You never know when some tech support person is going to tell you -- or for some other reason you might need -- to reset a device back to defaults.

Secondly, don't rely on tech support to be able to say what that default password is.
