Lost password for router

Ok i need to access my router to open up some ports, well the problem is idk the passowrd, and when i installed it i dont have any memory of changing it from the default "admin". anyone have any idea how i can possibly find out or change my password?

No. There is not way to find it out. You have to reset the router pressing the reset button for 30 seconds and then reconfigure the whole router.

  • 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.
    Enter your configurations.

  • Trying to create a password for router and wireless adapte

    I was reading through alot of posts and just couldnt find an answer that worked.
    I have a linksys wireless router, never had a pass set up on it, and lately
    I find someone is connecting to my internet and I would like to put a password
    on it. I found these instructions... but it wouldnt accept admin as the password
    to allow me to create a new one. I followed these instructions.
    "The default password of the router is admin. If you have set up a password  before, it will not recognize the default admin.Hold the reset button of the router for 10secs and it will retrieve the default admin...To change the default password, lauch internet explorer(pc should be connected to the router hardwired), type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1--it willl prompt for a username and password, leave username blank and password will be admin...It willl bring you to the set up page of the router..click on the administration tab and from there you can create your new password for your router... To encrypt the wireless network refer to our website, www.linksys.com/kb and search for answer id 759...it will walk you through with the process..."
    I am using windows XP for OS and the Wireless G? The router is on my main PC
    and the adapter is on my other PC. How do I go about obtaining a password on this? The Model # for the wireless piece is WMP54G not sure what it is on the actual router.

    If the router is not accepting the default admin password even after a reset of 10 sec you can hold down the reset button for 30 sec and if that doesn't work even,the other options would be to change browser settings,try a different comp, try upgrading the firmware of the router through tftp.exe.You can download the tftp.exe file from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network.

  • How can I uncover a lost password for my wireless network?

    Cannot find my password for the Wi-Fi network on my iPhone 6Plus.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    If it's your personal WiFi network the default password should be on a sticker somewhere on the router. If you have changed the password log in to the management console on the router, which you would know how to do as it's necessary to change the password. If it is not yours you will have to ask the network administrator.

  • Lost password, reset router

    I can't locate the admin password for my WRT45G, and would like to add a laptop to the network.  I guess I wrote down the WAP key along with the pw because I can't find it either!  So, I need to reset the unit to factory defaults.  Before I do this is there any data I should write down or have handy that will assist when I begin to set the unit back up?
    I'm using the unit on a home network that has two direct wired desktops and one wireless pocketPC.  I have Verizon DSL and want to add a laptop.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The settings that you need to know are the username and the password from Verison DSL ( your ISP). Apart from the ISP settings there's nothing you need to write down.Reset the router for 20 secs. The WPA encryption will also be disabled.

  • Lost password for Apple ID and the email on record is no longer valid

    Hi,
    I have to apple accounts, one for Mexico, where I live, and one for the US Store, where I made some purchases.
    I just bought a new computer and would like to transfer all of my iTunes related files to the new computer. However, I do not remember my password for the US store. Since I created it several years ago, the email that I submitted when I created the account is no longer valid. So, it is no use to send me an email to that address to reset the password of my US account because that email address does not work any longer.
    I have tried answering the security sessions instead, but even though I am positive that I am submitting the correct answers, I get a message claiming that my answers do not match the ones Apple has on record. So....
    What can I do to retrieve my password and have access to the files that were purchased in the US store?
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried following that link, but I didn't get anywhere. It gave me the same two options to reset my password:
    a) Email a link to an account that no longer exists
    b) Security questions, which for some reason did not work.
    So I am basically stuck in the same place: I cannot access my US iTunes account.

    If you no longer have the password for your account, you can simply reset it via Apple's iForgot website at:

    If that doesn't work, then you'll need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via

  • How can i recover a lost password for bootcamp?

    I forgot my password for my bootcamp drive it's taking up 200gb of my HD, how can I recover it? Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion

    Boot Camp is not an App, it does nothing except create a partition for Windows to be installed in. Windows does have a password.
    I know of no way to recover a Boot Camp password (because there isn't one) If it is the Windows password then Microsofts forums will probably be better for Windows problems.

  • WRT54G2- Lost username and password for router webpage

    When I type in my router's (WRT54G2) webpage it asks me for a username and password as normal.  But my problem is I forgot what my username and password was.  So how would I be able to find it or reset it?
    Solved!

    You have to reset the router to factory defaults pressing the reset button for 30 seconds... There is no other way if you forgot the password...

  • Help with finding password for router

    anybody know how I can find the password out for my wireless router? I can't find the manuals or anything, so I have no clue on what to do.

    The manuals are available online. Just do a web search for the router's model number. Once you have a manual it will tell you how to access the admin console, where you should be able to find the password. If you mention which router you have maybe someone already knows the answer. But you haven't given us much to go on thus far.

  • LOST PASSWORD FOR MY WI/FI

    I have lost my Wi/Fi password, does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the place I can go in and change it?  I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.  Appreciate any help you all can give me.

    Hey knottyknitpicks,
    The iPhone may have an incorrect password saved for the network. Try making the iPhone forget the network, Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>) next to your network> Forget this Network.

    Hi ironman,  Please run the following command in command prompt, in admin mode: powercfg -energy -output c:\energy-report-ironman.html Wait a bit, it will take a minute. Then it creates a .html file in your c:\ Please check the Battery Information section, compare the designed and last full charge capacity, it will tell you how powerful is your battery vs. the "factory maximum".  Mine is 96% (divde the smaller number with the higher, you will get the percentage). Mine will do some 5,5hrs with wifi internet. Check this for further info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJUcwNazSyo

  • C6380 error message after entering password for router

    I have a C6380 printer and a Cisco router model WRT54G.  The router works fine with my laptop & my desktop.  When I do the istall from the printer it finds the name of my router but when I enter the password it said it was invalid.  I even changed the password on the router after the error message so I know it is correct.

    Curious -- what device did you add?
    By chance, are you using static IP addresses on your network?
    Let's try an experiment:
    1) Turn off the wireless-router.  BTW -- what model do you have?
    2) Turn off all network devices and computers connected to your network except the printer.
    3) Turn on the wireless-router.  Does the printer get a good IP address?  if so, then turn on the other computers and network devices.

  • Lost Password for Admin, cannot boot from USB CDROM

    Greetings all...
    Ok, here's my problem.  I have lost my Admin password.  Not lost, really, but when I was changing it for my network, I managed to type the wrong one in the same way twice, and now I cannot get back into my Macbook Pro.  How I did this, I have no idea.  In any event, I am locked out.  My laptop has no DVD/CDROM, so I have a USB drive hooked up.  It also, obviously, came with no media, so I'm borrowing the disk from my iMac to use the utilities to reset the password.  I know there are various sneaky ways to toss the whole account and reset the Mac back to scratch, but I cannot lose the data that is currently on it.  Anyway, the disk that I have will not boot.  I just get either a grey screen, a grey screen with a little apple, or it just boots normally.  None of which are helpful.  I do get some activity on the drive, but then it will stop.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
