Default Virgin Media password and how to change it
Unique settings password printed on base sticker. You will usually find it sticker on base, line marked settings password. Settings password is not the Wi-Fi password
Under the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, in force since 29 April 2024, universal default passwords are banned on new kit sold in the UK, so modern hubs ship with a unique password printed on a label. Always change any default to a strong password of your own.

How to factory reset your Virgin Media hub
- Find the recessed Reset pinhole on the back or base of the hub.
- With the hub powered on, press and hold it with a paperclip for about 10 seconds.
- Release when the lights blink, then wait for the hub to restart fully.
- The hub usually re-pulls its configuration, and the label credentials apply again.
A reset erases any custom Wi-Fi name, password or settings. The 30-30-30 reset is a myth on modern hubs, so a single 10 second hold is all you need.
