As the salesman he should have used that first !
You need to go to the modem management page. There should be an address in the manual, or if not do a websearch for the make of modem you have. It will give you an address in the form of 4 numbers with full stops between them. You type that into your web browser address box. If you get the page up be sure you change only the password and keep a note of what you changed it from and to.

I doubt that there is an issue. No BT does not need to be involved. For peace of mind you can change the modem password. As mentioned you need the address to type into the web browser address box. And you need to be careful what you change when the screen comes up, and note everything you change just in case. Other things you have that presently connect wirelessly will need the new password.
The card with the wireless key on it, does it also have the 'router' log in details on it as well? Some do.
No need to contact BT, just log in to your router and change the wi fi pass word on their and obviously make a note of what you changed it to. I f your router log in was also on the card, I'd change that as well.

"What can happen ?"
Well not a great deal since you know he wasn't doing anything while you were there.
As ff mentioned, it is technically possible he could return in his car and park outside yours where he can pick up the modem signal and visit places the authorities would be interested in, and which seems to be you. (Plus use up your allowance of course.)
Chances of that being worth his while or even something he'd want to do, is extremely minimal.

Once you have logged in you should be able to find an option to change the wi-fi password (make a note). After that you may have to change the passwords on any devices using your wi-fi , ie; laptop, printer, mobile, tablet, etc.
