What most people think it looks like when you change router's admin password, apparently

My own ISP...

Not naming any names but my ISP just needed to update some settings to solve a query I had open with them, and they asked me to make a new admin account on my router with ... slightly more obscure credentials than admin:admin, but not much. It was blatantly obvious that this was the standard username and password combo they used for all such enquiries.

I replied that I wouldn't use those credentials, but offered them an alternative with the username 'securitymatters' and a proper password. They accepted it.
