You need to reset your Internet settings. I created a batch file turned into an executable that will do just that. It initiates over 10 commands to help reset the network. Right click the Nuke TCP Reset and run as Admin. Once completed you computer will auto restart in 15 seconds.
You anti-virus software may flag the file as malware. Rest assured it is not. I made it myself which is just a batch file. I think the reason as to why some anti-virus software flags it is due to being compressed with the 7Z compression and for some reason some anti-virus software doesn't like 7Z. It's just a false positive. If you don't want to run this then I can tell you what commands to run yourself manually, but it's over ten of them. What this does is fire them all off at once in 5 second intervals. So it's all automatic.
Once your TCP/IP stack has been reset you should be able to simply plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem into your computer and away you go. No password or any of that. The password crap is a remnant of some other configuration you had going there. This will hopefully reset all that back to what it was.
Yes, you should get a router as that modem is just that - a modem. So there's no SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) and NAT to afford you some basic networking security. Using just the modem now, every time you switch computers you may need to reset the modem as it will pick up different MAC addresses from each computer and change your IP address as well.
Some modems are a modem/router combo, but yours is not.

Here are some of the commands it fires off. For some reason my .EXE nuke does more than what I have published at Github. GitHub - 737simpilot/tcp-ip-reset: Resetting Winsock in Windows 7 (Click Source).
