Don't tell people the password to login to the admin page.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

Hmm I don't know if you can block websites using DNS servers although there are some softwares that are made to block websites like K9 web protection. The software has parental control features that should block specific or catergory type websites.

If you download it on one computer will that computer control everything on the network?

hmm I don't think so There is another option some routers Have built in Parental Controls if you set it up correctly every pc connected to that router should be affected.

Yeah all you need to do is change the Admin password. This can be done via the admin page.

OpenDNS should have the tools you need. Or use Windows Parental Comtrols.

You could possibly change the address.It all depends on what router you have. Look it up online.
