Changing factory password
How do I change the factory-set password on the modem/router? I would like to make it simpler.

Thats not changable. That needs to be the same always so if a modem is reset you can access it with that same factory password. The setup wizard has users set there own admin user custom password when walking thru the setup wizard.
