    Review the user manual for this information. 

    Log into the modems web page at 192.168.100.1 for this with a PC and web browser.

       Why?  Which "the password"?

     

    > Model: CM500|16x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem

     

       Is that your "my modem"?

     

       A CM500 is a modem, not a (wireless) router, and, as a modem, it has
    nothing to do with any "wifi password".

       Please, a clear explanation of the problem which you are trying to
    solve.
