any idea what is the username and password to access the cable modem?

I am thinking of reset the cable modem, is there anything need to configure if I were to reset the modem?

My friend one using default pwd
admin, motorola

If i were to reset, any configuration should set?

I am thinking of getting Linksys E2500 wireless router to pair with the Moto modem.

connect LAN cable from modem to the wireless router. Below are what I am planning to do:


1. Disable wireless function on the modem to let Linksys wireless router handle it.

2. Disable routing fucntion of the modem and set it to bridge mode to let Linksys router handling routing.

3. DHCP is to assigned by Linksys router.

4. To control MAC filtering, bandwidth, port forward, vpn, access control all by the Linksys router.


Question:

1. Has anybody set up in this way?

2. Zerorating is yours also in this way as in the moto modem is just bridging between cable and external wireless router?

3. If I were to reset the modem if neccessary, what information should I set it back to make it working?


Thank you.
