Work up early and after seeing I didn't have Internet access through my home WiFi, went to log into the Fritzbox interface and noticed things had changed.

Back when I received the FritzBox I never bothered setting up a admin password and so my default password was <blank>.

This morning I only had the option to put in a password and so left it blank (since that was my password) and got told it was incorrect. Tried a few more times, all to the same result.
For fun, I tried using admin as the password but that did not work either.
I clicked on the forgot password and it told me to factory reset the box ... which I did not want to do because it will kill my only access to the FritzBox.

So does anyone know the default password to the FritzBox 7490 after what I can only assume is a 2Degrees Firmware Update?
(I will call 2D at some point ... just not at 5.45am)
