My father bought a refurbished Fritzbox 7490 on the Internet. I'm trying to set this up now. I turned it on and connected my laptop to it and am now on http://fritz.box. According to the Internet, I should now enter a password that I would like to have. However, I'm then always shown that the access has failed and whether I have forgotten my password.
Am i doing something wrong? Or is it because it's not a new one?
I clicked on your link. I noticed that this is a mistake.
You have to enter: http://fritz.box.
Correct is without a dot at the end: http://fritz.box
If the password is not (no longer) known, then carry out the following steps on the AVM support page to reset the Bob to its factory settings:
Then set up the box step by step using the AVM documentation:

Give a 192.168.178.1
Then a blue card with the data of the Fritz! Box enclosed.
If not, the password must be written down somewhere.
Otherwise ask the seller.
Oh I'm sorry. I only put the point at the end of a sentence. On the Internet, of course, I did that without a point. But thanks.
