Help with Password Set up WRT54G

I set up this router forever ago and apparently it says I created a password, but I don't remember doing so and I have no idea what the password would be in order to set it up again on my computer. Is there a way to reset or use something else. I tried using Admin and that isn't working either. Please Help. Thanks

Have you been running an unsecured wireless network? With a router login password of "admin" ? If so, then most likely your neighbor wirelessly connected to your router (intentionally or unintentionally) and changed your login password.
The only way to remove the password is to reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. After you have done this, to prevent this problem from recurring, be sure to change the login password from the default of "admin", and secure your wireless network.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Help with password for router

Hi, anyone can help me with my password for the WRT54G router. I am trying to reconfigure it, but is asking me for a password. I reset the back bottom, and I entered "admin", but still does not work. It does not go on with the set up.
Thanks, Maribel

Welcome to the Cisco Home Community.
Type 192.168.1.1 on your browsers address bar.
When prompted for a password, leave username blank and type admin in the password field.

Help with password and authorization

I had a problem with my Kobo recently and had to reinstall both the Kobo and ADE on my computer. The 2.0 version did not work but I finally found the 172 and downloaded it. I cannot however get the 2 to connect and think I may have tried to many times. I decide to try getting books on my IPad and did not know if I needed to set up a new adobe account , but since the other did not seem to want to authorize anything I set up a new one, same email but different password. When I put the password in it kept telling me that it was the wrong one, and now I need to have my authorization count reset. How do I do that and do I use the same login and password for my computer and my IPad. My computer has Windows XP on it. Please can you help as I am lost without a book to read.
Thanks

Need help with Password

Hi All I hope you can help me with a big password problem. I have a wireless network at home with two wireless computers on it and a hardwired unit. I use the Linksys wireless router WRT54GS. I want to install a third wireless computer on this network, but I cannot remember my network password to enable access for this computer. is there any way to gain access to the uncoded version of my password to enable me to put it into the new unit? If this will not be possible, can I uninstall my entire network and install it new again, with a new password, etc. what other options do I have to enable the new computer to work on this network? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Have a great day All

Which password did you forget? Your router login password, or your encryption password?
If you forgot your router login password, try "admin" (with no quotes). If you cannot login to your router, the only solution is to reset your router to factory defaults (using the reset button), (then "admin" should work), then setup the router again from scratch.
If you forgot your encyption password, you are in luck. Login to your router, then go the the "Wireless" tab, "Wireless Security" subtab. Your encryption key should be listed on this page, or someplace nearby.

Help with itunes set up and back up

Hi,
Up until recently, I have always kept my itunes on my external hard drive, mainly because I have 2 computers (a desktop and a laptop) and thought it was an easier way to move between the 2 and not get too confused. However, a couple of months ago I lost everything off my hard drive when it was dropped, and have been itunes-less ever since. I've now finally got round to setting it all back up - I have an old external hard drive with most of the itunes still on, but I have still lost quite a few of the songs/albums I've purchased since I swapped to the newer one that's now broken (I've heard that Apple MAY give you one, and only one, chance to re-download songs that you've purchased if you beg, but haven't tried that yet).
So, currently I have about 7000 items in my library, but they are all on my old external hard drive and I'm not sure what is the best way to set itunes up again and import all these. I think my friend originally set up my itunes to read files from my external hard drive, but my library is still on my C Drive (so when I open itunes it still has all my songs but can't locate them), and obviously this probably turned out not to be the best way to keep everything, so I guess I need the external hard drive as more of a back up, rather than the ONLY copy. I tried to import the files in, but ended up with 2 copies of everything (I'm really not the best at understanding itunes!!!).
Basically my question is, what is probably the best way to store my itunes across 2 computers, AND have a back up copy on an external hard drive, and how do I go about setting it all up? I want to be able to share the playlists and any newly purchased music across both computers without constantly getting myself in a muddle trying to copy various files etc.
Can someone help? I think I have itunes 10, and run Windows Vista on both computers.
Thanks

This might help you troubleshoot.

Help with EasyLink Advisor for WRT54GS

Ok when I try and bring up the EasyLink Advisor for my router it says Administrator Privileges Required then under that it says You must be logged on as a user with administrator privileges to modify the computer's configuration for home networking. The thing is though that I am logged in as the administrator. I have never had this message appear before. I have gotten on the EasyLink Advisor numerous times to find the IP Address and stuff so I can connect my Xbox, iPod Touch wifi, and stuff like that. But now it won't let me do anything. I used to have Windows Vista on my computer but then I upgraded to Windows 7 and I think this is the problem because it started happening after I upgraded. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes the Easy Link Advisor is not supported on Win 7. You don't need it anyway. Simply connect to 192.168.1.1 with user name blank, password admin and check all status from the router itself.

Help with page set in indesign!!!

Hi I am trying to set up a 8.5 x 11 brochure with double sided pages. the pages will originally be 17 x 11 so i can fold them into the correct size. how do I go about setting this up? I know i need to print duplex with saddle stitch but when i try to set up the 17 x 11 pages in indesign it makes the whole booklet that length. help....

We need to be very clear about waht you mean by a "page" rather than the number of sheets on which this is going to be printed. If the brochure is one sheet of 11 x 17, printed on both sides and folded so it has 4 panels, then you can set it up as a two-page 11 x 17 document. I do it this way most of the time, and set the pages with two columns to make the margins at the gutter where it folds for convenience in layout. Side one (page 1 in the layout) would have the back cover on the left and the front cover onthe right, and side two (page 2 in your layout) would have the two inside "pages."
In theory you can set up a longer document this way, too, but it's so much work to remember the imposition pattern and such a hassle and prone to error to work this way instead of looking at the design as the readers see the finished product, that I would never do it for more pages. Setting up as 8.5 x 11 facing pages is fast, easy to work with, allows for changing the page count if necessary, and works for automatic page numbering, so it just makes more sense to do that if you will be printing more than one sheet of paper.

Help with Password Management!!!

I am having a problem configuring my OID password management options... the Admin guide says that I can do it through Directory Manager by selecting the server in the left hand pane and editing the data on the password management tab... problem is I have no password management tab... it's not there!
So I notice that I can also use the command line tools to modidy the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet" directory. I assume that "cn=oracle internet directory" is the top level of my tree... doing a search for anything cn=* from the top level results in three things as follows... none of them are the entry I want:
cn=configset1,cn=metadird,cn=configsets,cn=oracle internet Directory
cn=odipgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
cn=odisgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
OK... so in desperation I attempt to add the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" and the server says it already exists.
Seems to me there is something messed up with my Directoty Information Tree but I don't know why that would be (I just installed and the install gave me no errors) or how to fix it. Can someone please help???
Thanks
Chris

Querying the password policy entry can be a little bit tricky unless you are very familiar with LDAP. Here's the command that does the trick:
ldapsearch -s base -b "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" "(objectclass=*)"cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory
objectclass=top
objectclass=pwdpolicy
cn=pwdpolicyentry
pwdmaxage=0
pwdlockout=0
pwdlockoutduration=0
pwdmaxfailure=0
pwdfailurecountinterval=0
pwdexpirewarning=0

Help with passwords on Nokia 6288

Hi,
Im trying to set a password so that when someone tries accessing my memory card through gallery it asks for a password. Ive tried going options then going set password except it never asks for the password again. Any help would be appreciated. Also ive just realised there is a password on the memory card that i havent set or have forgotten, how do i remove it?

You need to use a wired headset to activate the radio as the cable acts as the antenna.
No Bluetooth device will therefore be able to do this...

Help with passwords

Can someone please help me? Somehow i managed to reset my password wrongly. I have been using the same one for 2 yrs now and ttoday when i enabled it and put the password in twice i must have done4 it wrong because when i try to unlock it it says invalid password. I only have one attempt left of the 10 i used as the setting. What can i do?

If you can't remember it there is only one thing to do: enter in the password incorrect and let the device wipe. There isn't a way around the password protection.

Help with expanding port on WRT54Gs PLEASE!?!?!

Hey guys. I won't go into all of the details as to why exactly I am doing this specific setup, but it is a mix of WIFI range, using left over equipment for cost concerns, and a SONOS system being involved...
My GOAL setup:
Modem ------ Internet port - WRT54Gs (wireless router) - LAN port ------- run through two jacks and through the attic ------ ***Switch or secondary router*** ---- Two etherent cables to 2 devices (PC ***AND*** SONOS system)
This setup currently works just fine for getting my PC internet:
Modem ------ Internet port - WRT54Gs (wireless router) - LAN port ------- run through two jacks and through the attic ------ PC
In the "Switch or secondary router" part of the diagram above I have tried a 2nd WRT54Gs with correct non-overlapping IP settings, DHCP server turned off on the dowstream router without success. I have also tried just now a brand new "plug and play" Linksys SE1500 switch (without a 2nd router) in the same spot in the line. None of these work and my computer reports I am not on a network with each of these. I have power cycled and rebooted everything a thousand times in every conceivable order.
Any thoughts are appreciated to help me solve this month long puzzle.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is going to drive me nuts...
So this is currently working:
Main router (LAN port) ---- switch (in same room) ----- split to SONOS (short cable) and PC (LOOONG cable to other room)
I was using this same quite long cable as a temp cable in my PC room from the wall to PC (which then goes through my attic/wall run)
This seems to point to my run through the attic but how can that be it if that run works fine with all these same cables going straight into my PC??

Needing Help with color setting for Photoshop 4 + imac

Hi, Is anyone able to assist me please. To cut a long story short. i have had to reinstall my original software onto my Imac as when i put on Snow leopard it was just slowing down Photoshop 4 and would keep crashing. So my problem is .... I had some prints printed today at Fuji and the prints have come back dark and just not up to scratch. I know that it is not Fuji, but my settings. I had someone set up my imac and Photoshop last time, but this time i will have to do myself and i just don't know what to set them at. Can anyone help please. Not sure if you need this info but i am in New Zealand. many thanks in advance.

Being in the business of printing other people's image files, I can say without any doubt that the advent of digital image processing has definitely muddied the waters to a much greater extent than was the case when printing negaive film. I'm also a shooter, and have been using such programs for many years, so I can understand the desire to manipulate your files before sending them to the lab. Color negatives never had "Profiles" attached to them. If the proper film was used for the lighting conditions, it was simply up to the lab to make sure the resulting print was in balance, both in color and density. It was also the lab's responsibility to maintain a degree of quality control that would make all of the above possible and repeatable. I have to agree with the other response to your question. Whether or not you have an embidded a profile, it's always the job of the printer to make sure the final print is up to a certain standard of quality. If that is not the case, find another printer. Unless you have indicated that your files should be printed without any corrections, the oweness belongs to the lab/printer. I do have a few customers whose work I can print with very few corrections, due to the fact that they have calibrated their displays and have a very tight workflow. However, the vast majority of files that I print require a considerable degree of correction, that's my job. It's also the job of your lab/printer and if they are nor satisfying your needs you have to find someone who does. I have printed many files that have no profile embidded and I simply convert them to my working color space(Adobe RGB 1998). If you are concerned about doing color settings, this is the obvious place to start. Create a custom space and make sure your working color is set to Adobe RGB 1998, not sRGB. Adobe RGB 1998 is a considerably larger color space with a wider gamut and will allow for more choices and a wider range when it comes to processing the image. Pro Photo RGB is an even larger color space, but one that is seldom used at this time. I suspect it will become more popular in the fairly near future, as other technologies continue to push the color gamut envelope.
So, I guess the gist of all of this is that you need to either have your lab/printer redo the dark prints, or find someone who knows how to print. And equally important, someone who cares about your work as much as yo do.
I am attaching a screen shot of my color settings and I would suggest this might be a good place to start.
