And I'd bet a nice amount that most of them have the default passwords.

Some years ago I wrote a little tool to iterate all of an ISP's ip addresses and around 90% were using default passwords. Mostly homes, but some businesses.

According to a comment above, these routers require an admin password change when setup with no way around that.
Sounds like they learned their lesson
The ISP assigned a unique password and puts it as a label beneath the router - in my case. I kept it. I consider it save enough.
