Linksys Router Vulnerability

Quote:
Researchers scanning the internet for vulnerable embedded devices have found nearly 21,000 routers, webcams and VoIP products open to remote attack. Their administrative interfaces are viewable from anywhere on the internet and their owners have failed to change the manufacturer’s default password.
Have you changed your router's default admin password yet?

I changed mine some time back and it is 36 characters long.

Can not have a password longer then 37 characters on my Linksys Router.
Had to copy the password down because no way I could ever remember it.

For those who do not know type 192.168.1.1 in address bar and hit enter.
Your get a pop up box.
Leave name blank and type in ADMIN for password. --- This is the default was in the Linksys Router.

Some say that 192.168.1.1 will not work but http://192.168.1.1 does work so here are both.
