Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
This is talking about the default passwords printed on the bottom - mainly the wireless one, but it's also sense to update the admin one at the same time.
Details about how to change the Wireless password on all Virgin Media's Hubs are here:
https://help.virginmedia.com/system/...eless-password
And on the forum here http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...e/ba-p/3456004
And here is how to change the admin page password:

What's missing from the BBC report is that it still took Which days to discover the default password:

Using publicly available hacking tools that can be found on the web, we were able to crack the router password in just a few days.
