Changing Router Password

Hi, I have been reading countless tutorials online on how to reset my router password.  First off I have a WRT54G v.6 router.  I have confirmed my IP as the usual default.  When I type in http:// (Ip) I do not get the username password login as everyone else says they do.  I get a Management mode/Firmware upgrade screen with a file browser and apply/reset underneath.  I really want to apply a password to my router but I am just not getting it.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Power down the router for 40-50 seconds .... then again open the setup page ...
you will get screen for Username & password ...

  • How do you set the router password on wrt54gs?

    I have a wrt54gs wireless router.
    I pressed RESET for 30 seconds.
    I did not do any power cycle.
    I typed 192.168.1.1
    I left username empty and entered ADMIN as password.
    I enabled MAC addres clone.
    I noticed I got Internet connection.
    Then I tried to prevent my kind neighbors from
    accidentally using my router.
    So I changed router password.
    I clicked on SAVE SETTINGS.
    At this point I was asked to enter username and password
    to AUTHENTICATE CHANGE.
    What is username?
    What is password?
    This did not work with "username empty and ADMIN as password".

    "Of course, setting a router password won't keep your neighbors from using your internet."
    So what is the correct way of keeping your neighbors from using my router?
    Another thing I notice.
    Because of a router password I put in (even though I got error messages
    from doing that), then I closed out the whole thing.
    Subsequently I typed 192.168.1.1,
    my router did not acccept 'admin' as password
    and
    it only accepted the router password I put in.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • I changed my router password, now I need to login each time....

    I have a MacBook Pro and recently changed my router password (from ASCII to HEX). Now my MBP recognizes the wireless signal (full strength) but I cannot pull up web pages without re-detecting my network and typing in the new password. A minor annoyance, but it would still be great to have it back to where it would remember the password.
    Thanks,
    John

    Changing the keychain worked the first time that I did it, but has not worked since. I still have to find my network and re-login. I also checked my keychain to make sure it was remembering the correct password.

  • Changing wireless router password for my wireless printer

    How can I change my new wireless router password without connecting a usb cable ?
    Thanks

    We have no idea since you don't mention what printer you have.   Also if you want to change your router password you con't use a USB cable.  Must use Ethenet cable or wireless connection.
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

  • I changed the password on my ipodtouch icloud and it still pops up and doesnt accept new password

    when i sign in this opo up keeps popping up to put in my icloud password i do and it doesnt take it. i changed the password on my ipod touch it still pops up why would this do this?

    Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
    Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
    Power off the Express for a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
    The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now.

  • EA6500 router password stop working when on Internet

    My issue is pretty simple but really hard to understand on a logic standpoint.
    I have a new EA6500 (v1), I hooked it up to the network and set it up using the default router password which is "admin". I set up the PPPOE connection for my internet and then, as soon as it is connected to the internet, I'm not able to connect to 192.168.1.1 anymore because it says my router password is invalid. If I just unplug the WAN cable and refresh it, the router password now works.
    I tried changing it and it keeps working only if the router is not connected to internet. When it is connected to internet, I click the "local access mode" but get the same "invalid router password" error. If I connect using my Smart Wi-Fi account, I get a "error_gets_network" error that disappears after ~1sec and then it goes back to connection page, or sometimes it will just ask for the router password which won't work anyway.
    I have the latest firmware but I still manually reinstalled it without any success. I tried a few hard resets too but the problem is still here and it is really annoying since I can't go to the router settings without unplugging the WAN cable from the router. And I can't link my smart Wifi account either obviously since the router password isn't recognized anymore if I'm on internet.
    Any ideas??
    I tried with latest version of Google Chrome (cleared cache and everything, and since it's working when the router is not plugged to internet, I don't think it's a browser problem). The interface doesn't work at all with latest IE version (even in compatibility mode, the interface keeps telling me to download the latest version of IE, that's really ironic).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
    Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
    Clear all browser caches.
    Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
    Try turning off these features in Chrome:
    Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
    Uncheck these:
    Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
    Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
    Predict network actions to improve page load performance
    Enable phishing and malware protection

  • Changing WiFi Passwords in Windows 8

    Here we go...
    I was able to set up wifi access at work, but when I get home, I can't connect to the router.  My laptop gets the signal, but I don't know how to change the password so that I can actually get on the net.  I'm sure this is a simple issue, but I just can't figure it out.  Any help appreciated as usual!

    1. Open Network Connections (ncpa.cpl).
    2. Right-click the WiFi connection and click Status.
    3. Click the Wireless Properties button and look on the Security tab.
    4, When you click the check box for Show characters, the password is available.
    This actually comes from a Windows 10 (tech preview) machine. I assume it's the same.

  • I recently changed the password for my home network and now my MP495 printer will not connect.

    Hi, First time caller, long time listener............
    I am running Win 7 on all of the pcs in the house with an Android or two as well. I had to change the pw for my linksys router this past weekend and I noticed today that I can not get on as the "printer is offline". I have done the obvious cycling of pcs , router and printer. I have also tried checking / unchecking the use printer offline. Do I need to redownload the drivers and attach the printer by usb and reinstall it? Its been a while since I installed it and I can't remember if it needed a password to connect or not.
    Thank you, I appreciate your time.

    Hi Trilo,
    Since you changed the password to your wireless router, you will need to reinstall the drivers on your computer to reconnect the printer to your network.  Prior to reinstalling, you will want to ensure that the wireless LAN setting on the printer is enabled. To do this, press the Maintenance button on the printer (looks like a pair of pliers and a screwdriver) repeatedly until the symbol that looks like "G" appears in the LCD, then press the <COLOR> button to enable wireless LAN.
    Once the wireless LAN has been enabled, please click here to go to the DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE page for the PIXMA MP495.  Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
    1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
    2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
    Once the file has been downloaded, please double-click on it to reinstall the printer wirelessly.
    Hope this helps!

  • Linksys Cisco EA6400 - Passphrase/router password

    I'm trying to find the password for this screen, seen after typing my remote ip address "192.168.1.1", in order to access my router settings.
    As you probably already know, I don't know what it is. I've tried the default passwords I could find on some portforward sites, which are "admin" and "tivonpw", along with "default", "password", "[blank]", and every number or letter on the back and front of my physical router. I've also tried many passwords me or my dad might have set it as, but nothing. On multiple occasions, I've tried hard reseting my router and re-typing all of these passwords, first holding down the reset button for 10 seconds, then 30, a minute, and finally two minutes. I also tried calling a support site, but they said my warranty ran out and that I'd need to pay for their advice, which I chose not to.
    Things like these have happened enough to where I've stopped becoming frustrated with them, but the help would still be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    P.S. A curious thing I noted; this router doesn't seem to have a username?

    @Baximus
    There’s no way to retrieve the router password once you change it from the default password admin.
    If you forgot your router password, you can perform a hardware reset to restore your router to factory default settings. Just press and hold the Reset button on the back panel of the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router for about 10 seconds then release.
    Once done, you may run the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi setup wizard or manually set it up. It should prompt you to update your router and wireless password. Make sure to type the password correctly since it’s case sensitive.

  • Cisco software and Router password?

    Hi..
    I have an e2000 wireless router. I have the latest software version for the Cisco software. My problem is this.. I have noticed that Cisco sets up the same password to access the router setup page as the wireless password... WHY?
    What I mean is that... Anyone that connects to the main SSID will be able to connect to the setup page at 192.168.1.1...I know that I can change the password in the linksys setup page to whatever I want, but then when I open the Cisco software, it wants me to change the password to match what the administrator password is... this is ridiculous... why would CIsco do this?
    Don't they realize that a wireless password is different than the Administrator password to access the router settings?
    Am I missing something here?

    Well the software is really not that bad except for the password issue. I use OpenDns servers to protect my netword from porn, phishing, ect because I have kids. This is why a password to access the router settings is essential to prevent anyone but me to make any changes to those settings... but like I said, if it wasn't because of the password issue, the software is not that bad.
    Anyway, I went back to Tomato firmware because with the regular e2000 firmware you can't intercept port 53 which can be used to bypass any DNS settings, which Tomato or DD-WRT are capable of intercepting and redirecting any DNS settings.
