Just got a new Gateway from Comcast.
Going to the Gateway page it will not let me log in with

These have always worked in the past. Any suggestions?

I went back and tried it again. This time it gave me the option of changing the password. I did that and all is fine. Question is why didn't it ask me that in the first place?
Thank you for your help.
