You do not say which modem you use, but every Netgear device lets you change the password for the admin access.Indeed, Netgear is so keen on this that in newer devices it forces users to change the password.
You cannot change the admin username. But this is a local connection, so the only risks are from people near you.
One of the features that drew me to the Nighthawk RAX30, AX2400 was the NETGEAR Armor feature.
That is not a Netgear modem. It is a router.
Also brands - if they're worth their salt should offer lifetime support on their product.
Sadly, very few brands offer free lifetime support for consumer grade devices. But welcome to Netgear's lifetime support system.
