What should I do if I forgot my Digital Phone password?

Your AT&T Primary Member ID has two passwords: (1) The Account Password provides access to email, att.net home page, online Internet account management, backup Dial-up, and AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots. (2) The DSL Network Password is a system-generated password that is used by the modem or router to authenticate and connect to the DSL network. AT&T Sub Accounts only have an Account Password. This article provides instructions on how to reset the Account Password.
