Can you try the 4 digit password on the sticker on the back of the modem?

Re: hotshot 283f

On the back cover of the device either on the inside or outside there is an SSID (the name of the hotshot) and the password. The password is the WPA2 key to access the hotshot.

If you are entering this and it does not work you need to reset the device and try again. To reset you need to press power and connect buttons together until it restarts. Once it has restarted enter the WPA2 key again.

Re: hotshot 283f

THere is a number inside the cover 6 digits, you can then change this to a better password or one you can remember, also if it gets stolen no-one else can use it. Felim
