Getting my password

Hi--
I installed my WRT160N in a neighbor's house (about 100 feet away) and am experiencing signal strength problems. I installed the router using her computer (a windows PC). I use a Mac and now I'm trying to access the router from my computer to try changing channels or otherwise improve the situation. When I input the IP address, it asks for my username and password. I can't for the life of me remember either, and they're apparently different than the info I use to join my network. 
Can someone tell me how to retrieve the Username and Password?
Thanks!

You cannot retrieve the login User Name and Password.  If you could, the router would not be very secure.
If you have forgotten your user name and password, the only thing you can do is reset the router to factory defaults by using the reset button on the back of the router.  This will reset the router to the factory default values, which is User Name of blank, and Password of "admin"  (with no quotes).
Also, you should not try to update your router settings wirelessly.   This often fails, and can cause your router's software to become corrupted.  You should always use a computer that is wired to your router when accessing the router setup pages.

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly

    Not from your end. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

    No there's not.  Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

  • I am trying to get a password, but I can't remember my user name. Firefox answers back that there is a registered user with my email. Probably me, but I can't long on as I don't have the user name.

    When the new password is used, it asks also for a user name if an email account is recorded.
    Finally, after trying lots of user names, this one seemed to work. The website logon should not require a user name if I can get a password change by just using my email account.

    Hi brendalynn6,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password?

    I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

    There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

  • I cannot get my password reset to start using iphone. Tried website and asked to send to my email address /also my user id and nothing coming. i called 800-275-2273 and guy said apple having issues no est time of fix?

    I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available.  Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

    "Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
    Where did you get that nonsense?  Your involved question sounds like a hoax.  Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.

  • I have a wi fi network which is bell675, it is asking me for a password but i don't know it, how can i get a password

    how can i get a password for wi fi network BELL675

    There's no way anyone here will know the password to that network. If this is your own home network, the password would be whatever you set up on the WiFi router. If you've forgotten it, you'll have to reset the router. Consult the router documentation. If this is a commercial WiFi network you're trying to access, contact whoever runs the network.
    Regards.

  • Why do i get "wrong password" when i try to log on to the wifi on my ipad 3?

    I have 2 laptops, 2 ipones (5 and 4s, running on ver 6.1.4), an ipad mini and an ipad 3 in my home.
    I'm using my wifi successfuly with every device except for my ipad 3.
    on the "wireless" tab, i can see the network, i'm trying to type the password but i keep on getting "wrong password".
    The ipad can use wifi in other places with passwords.
    I checked how im writing and tried to type again on other devices, that's not the problem. Its not a problem with capitals or o-0 or something like that.
    I've tried reseting the network settings,  reseting my router, reseting my ipad (pressing "off button" + "home button"). I've tried changing password on my router, without succuess.
    that is really annoing, you're paying a lot for something that's suppose to work perfectly, and you get problems like that.
    I really need wifi on my ipad, and I've searched forums all over the internet for a solution. it turnes out that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem, whitout a proper solution.
    please help

  • HT201441 I bought an ipad from a pawnshop and its linked to a previous owners apple ID. They said that they can't find the person to get their password. What can I do, or is it now just a paperweight?

    I recently bought an iPad from a pawnshop and when I go to set it up it keeps asking me to sign in with a previous owners ID and password. How can I bypass this, as the person is no longer reachable to get the password from. Please tell me this isn't a paperweight now?!

    Without their password you have a brick. You should take it back to the shop, who shouldn't have sold it to you in this condition.

  • I don't get "Manage my Account" when I select the Sync tab, but if I try to create a new account it says my userid is already in use. How can I get my password & sync key?

    My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
    My Firefox version is 4.0.1.
    When I try to setup Firefox Sync, I get a choice of "Create a new account" or "Connect".
    The first tells me my email address is already in use, but selecting the Sync tab does not give me "Manage my Account."
    How can I find out my password and sync key?

    Hi Russ!
    Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
    If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Get current password in a basic authentication JSP

    Hello.
    I've written some JSP pages and I've protected them with BASIC authentication.
    I'd like to get the password that the user used to log in, because I need to execute a EJB method running on other server and this EJB method is also protected.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Kind regards.

    I've just resolved it!
    Password comes in the request instance as "authorization" header coded in Base64.
    Only had to retrieve the header and decode it.

    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

  • Can no longer login to Blackberry App World or get a password reset, please help!

    I cannot login to My Blackberry App World on https://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/login/
    I have entered my email and password but it is rejected.
    When I ask for a password reset I am prompted to answer a security question. The security question I am given is one I have never set, so I do not know what the answer is meant to be!
    Consequently I cannot get a password reset so am unable to access My Blackberry App World, either on my phone or on a pc.
    What has happened to my account and why can I no longer log in..?

    Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
    Issue resolved.
