How to Change a BellSouth DSL Password
If you've assigned a password to your computer's BellSouth DSL Internet connection, everyone attempting to use that connection (on a shared network) will need to enter that password. If at any point you want to change your BellSouth DSL password, you can do so by altering the information contained in a specific file from within the Microsoft Windows Network and Sharing Center. Your BellSouth DSL Internet connection must be a wireless connection to be password protected. Wired connections are not password protected, as computers using wired connections are physically connected to your router.
