Yes you can. I take it this is the WiFi password, or is it the admin password for the box? Either way, best to change both.

This link, about splitting the bands (but you don’t need to do that right now) will show you how to access your Hub configuration:-

It’s best if you make these changes via an Ethernet cable, to a laptop or such, since changing the WiFi password when you are logged in via WiFi is like sawing off the branch you are sitting on 😛

 

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

If this is your child, it wouldn't take much hacking, they would just need to look on the router.

Be aware that if you do change the password, they could just do a factory reset to return it to the default, so you will need to restrict access to the router.

We need to know more about this child, and the circumstances in which they are connecting an unauthorised Xbox to your WiFi.
