JoeyN Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 All routers have a little button which you can use a paper clip to push in to reset it. Which one do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yeah, what Joey said. Normally you have to hold the button in for at least 5 seconds and it will reset the firmware inside the router to all of the default settings. On most consumer routers I have seen the default administrator username is admin or administrator and the password is a blank. Each can be different, so the manual should detail the "out of the box" settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbz Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Unless you changed it, it's quite likely to be admin/admin or admin/(nothing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
