Everything you've written tells me that this isn't a Fedora problem or 
even a problem with your laptop.  If, as you say, the password your ISP 
gave you for your new modem doesn't work, it's their problem.  Talk to 
them again and, if all else fails, insist on getting that modem replaced 
with one that works.  (From what you write, it was defective "out of the 
box," making this a warranty issue, and they shouldn't charge you for 
replacement.)
