Modem password

Are modem passwords case sensitive? Example: Xxxx99xxxx.

    Sorry for the confusion, meant wifi password on back of modem. New to HughesNet and I could not mannually connect to wifi using password on back of modem. So I compared the Password Setting to the modem label. Label has one capital letter and the wifi password shown in the System Control Center does not. It must be a misprint. Thanks.

    If you need to change the wifi password(s), the default admin password for the wifi settings is simply 'admin'.
    (Note: you may want to change that as well)

    As far as I know the modem doesn't use a password.

    However, access to the modem's Wifi Settings is password protected, which is case sensitive.

    The password to access wifi that are configured for WPA from devices are also case sensitive.
