Two things I've learned from this:
In addition to noting the new password you give to a device, also note
along with it the default password to it. You never know when some tech
support person is going to tell you -- or for some other reason you
might need -- to reset a device back to defaults.
Secondly, don't rely on tech support to be able to say what that default
password is.
