Gateway with a password less then 8 characters
I have a gateway router-modem and the password is less then 8 characters. Is there some way around this limitation?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hmmm, only info I have, & doesn't seem related, is...
Fix for 8-char password limit in OS X
Benefits of installing the Microsoft User Authentication (UAM) module
• Allows passwords up to 64 characters (No 8-character
limits.).
• Allows case sensitive passwords.
• Strong 128 bit NTLMv2 encryption.
• Note: Minimum install for this module is for a PowerPC G3 running OS X.1 or X.2. You will need your Macintosh admin password to do this installation.

Can you describe the problem better?
I don't know how I can describe this better. I have a gateway SBG900 that's factory password is "router" (That's what they told us!) When I go to the AirPort and turn it on, I can't even type that in.
It doesn't show up in a list under the Airport/Wifi icon?
Is this what you've tried... click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
No it shows up there. The password is six characters. My computer requires eight! My question is how do I login if Apple won't let me?
I click the WiFi icon. Then I click the gateway's name. Another screen pops up to enter the password. The password is too short.
Can you connect an Ethernet cable to it so you can get in & change the Name/SSID?
