CM500V default settings

Hello, just got a CM500V for xFinity but I don't have an Ethernet port on my laptop nor do I have a pigtail handy. Does anyone know the default psk for the default SSID?

The CM500v is a modem only. there's isn't a "default ssid". Theres no integrated router function.
You'd either need a device with an ethernet port or a router to connect to it.

My bad, apparently I cannot read.

Never mind. Thank you
