Did you ever get any help with this? I'm a new Sky user and the same thing happens to me.

Re: Change router password

The local web interface of a router is "insecure" in as much as it doesn't use HTTPS. Web browsers really ought to know when they're being asked to connect to a local, private address & not produce this errors, but they don't. Most offer the option to ignore the error or add the page to a safe list. There is no actual risk involved.
