I changed that one on the day I got it - it does rather invite that!
It's the WiFi password I'm not really sure about, OK so it's only 8 L/C characters, but is it a realistic risk that there are people going around with devices to crack into peoples' WiFi? Mine barely reaches all the rooms in the house, let alone out in the street. And it would be a pain to have to go around changing phones, NOW TV box, printer etc etc, not to mention occasional visitors I've given it to.
