arris tg862 gateway- find and set wifi access password

Keep in mind that changing the wireless password will NOT change the password to access your settings page.

These are two different passwords. For example, I'll list two sets of passwords you can use:

To log into the page (where I typed 10.0.01) you might enter "admin" as your username, and "password" as your password. But the network advertised as "GlowWorm" can be connected to with whatever password you enter where I placed the black box, ie- if you typed "youtube1" as that password you'll connect to wifi with the password "youtube1" while to access network settings you will still use "password" as the password.
