### Introduction
TBFC's delivery drones loop endlessly over Wareville Square after someone accessed the company router using default credentials. Securing WiFi with strong, non-default passwords is critical—default credentials are equivalent to leaving the front gate wide open to attackers.

#### Password Minimum Requirements
- Minimum 12 Characters
- Must include Upper, lower, number, and symbol
- Not in common leaked list

---
### Walk Through
1. Click view site to open the simulate router login page
2. The default credentials are `admin:admin`
3. Entered a new password for the portal administation based on best practices and minimum requirements
    1. Chose `boogeyman4U!`

### Lessons Learned
- Learned critical WiFi security practices: default credentials must be changed immediately and replaced with strong passwords meeting minimum requirements (12+ characters, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols)
- Successfully secured the TBFC router by replacing the default `admin:admin` credentials with a strong password `boogeyman4U!`, demonstrating proper access control implementation
