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.

  • WRT54G IP lost after reset router

    After reset my WRT54G router, I seem to cant find my IP address.is it because my firewall in my company is set to 192.168.1.1.before this, my WRT54G IP is set to 192.168.1.109.Is there any way to find the IP. I am using a desktop to configure the router,so no wireless connection.
    forget to say, the wrt54G is not my PC default gateway, is it connected to the same switch same with my desktop PC.

  • 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.

  • Forgot password/reset router

    I bought an AirPort Extreme a few years ago, and have my iPhone 4 connected to it. I bought my daughter a 5th generation iPod Touch for Christmas. I want to connect her iPod Touch to my WiFi, but cannot remember the password. Is there a way to reset it? Even if I have to reset it to factory settings, that's fine.
    Thanks!

  • 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?

  • Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

    Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
    I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
    What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This will give you root access to your computer:
    1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
    2) At the Console # type:
    fsck -fy
    - This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
    3) At the Console # type:
    mount -uw /
    4)At the Console # type:
    nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
    - The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
    5) At the Console # type:
    nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
    - This will reset the root password
    6) At the Console # type:
    reboot
    7) You can now login with the username root

  • Lost my password, never get a password reset from spotify

    Like title says I never got any email when resetting my password. I did this account to write this message, because I want my old account back. This accounts password is 0000. I dont want to make new account. I will never ever gonna join to facebook. I just want my old account back. Btw, it took me four hours to make this far and post this never before asked question. Sorry my english. I must say this is the worse support I have ever had in my life. And I was teenager when internet born.

    Did you visit this link https://www.spotify.com/us/password-reset/ already? What did it say after you put your e-mail address? Did it say it sent you a link to reset your password? If it said that the password reset link has been sent and you didn't get it, try to do it again or contact support here -> https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support/?contact . Don't worry, making a new account is still very easy if you can't make it with your old account. Hope this helps :)

  • Lost password   Trying to reset admin. password. Help, please!

    I'm trying to reset the administer password on my ibook g4 because for the life of me I can't remember my password! I've followed the advice posted below and come to a screen that is black with foreign languages on the bottom of the screen. That as far as it will go. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you to whoever can help me.
    Resetting the original administrator account password
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
    Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
    Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
    Set the user name of your original administrator account.
    Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
    Enter a new password.
    Click Save.

    You're Welcome Bobbi!
    "I am using our Mac OS X install Disc 1 from our Mac desktop computer. ... Do you think that matters?"
    Absolutely! That is causing the problem!
    That is a Model Specific disc, and probably not version Panther 10.3.x, and will not work.
    You can call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and with the Serial Number of the iBook G4, you can order a replacement set, of the original system discs.
    If you have the Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, you should also be able to use that.

  • WebEx Connect Password reset - in SSO environment

    Hi,
    Anybody knows how to recover from a lost password in a SSO environment?
    Either SSO not working, or having lost static admin user.
    When trying the standard password recovery link, got error message:
    Your password is same as your enterprise Single Sign-On password. Please contact your administrator to reset your single sign-on password.

    Then I get forwarded to AOL again. On that website, it seems that I could change the password, and it seems to work. However, when I try to use that password in the WebEx Connect client after that, it still doesn't work.

  • Password reset/change during migration [Problem an...

    Hi all,
    I would like to share a password change problem I have encountered, and some remedial steps to resolve it during the migration from Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.
    Background:
    I am a relatively new customer (less than a year) and I have a ABC@btinternet BT ID and email account name. I recently received an email informing me of the pre-requirites for the migration. I have attempted to change my password since then which resulted in being effectively locked out of my account. I tried all of the usual remedies ranging from clearing cookies and browsing data, to different browsers, deep virus and malware scans, to a completley new installation of the OS (Win 7) and even using a Linux distribution.
    Problem:
    After logging in via the BT main portal email link, I attempted to change my password via the account settings page. This appeared to be successful, and a confirmation email was received via previously set up forwarded address, which would also indicate this assertion. However, after logging out, I was unable to log back in with neither the new password, nor the old. Any attempt to reset using the lost password wizard resulted in the same initial indication of success, but ultimate failure to log in. This is rather counter intuitive.
    After several hours of live chat and telephone conversations with the help department, it was found that using the BT main page to initiate a password change for the email service was at fault.
    Solution:
    There is an alternative using the Yahoo (www.mail.yahoo.com) sign in page to initiate a password change/reset, and will work as intended. Exactly the same user experience, ie wizard completes and confirmation email, but this time the change will come into effect when logging in from the BT main page.
    [Edit]
    If you have found this after already being locked out of your account (which is very likely to be the case) simply go to the Yahoo sign in page and enter your old password. You will then be able to access your account settings to change to your new one. Similarly, a forgotten password will work from here too.
    Things to look out for:
    Some of us are under what is dubbed a "mierge journey" and this appears to be at the root of the problem. If the URL for a "Forgotten Password" contains something like
    "... /managepassword/merged_consumer_journey/forgottenpass ..."
    Then you are probably in the same situation and this advice should apply.
    Thanks go to the help team for thier tireless efforts in uncovering this issue, and please reply with any ommisions or other suggestions/situations that will help others and I'll ammend/add to this post.
    TLDR:
    Do not use the BT email sign in link when changing or restting your password.
    Do use the alternative Yahoo sign in page to change or reset your password.

    Update:
    Workaround: log in using a different client machine.
    Scary.
    It looks the same problem reported, without response, here: Apex.oracle.com SaaS Login - Must Change Password.

  • Account password reset sent but not received by Outlook.

    I have requested a password reset, went through the process and had success at Apples end. Email was sent but not received by the Outlook account email I have been using for years. Outlook is still working fine. Nothing in Junk folder and have added the apple email to contacts (from last reset).
    Any ideas?

    Contact Apple for assistance resetting the password, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • Password Reset problems

    I tried to reset my password following these instructions
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA95/How-do-I-change-my-password/
    But when I clicked on Change Password , It would only let me type in the Old Password. I was unable to click on the New Password boxes, unable to type anything in them. Couldnt even use TAB key to move to them. Im running Windows XP Pro in case its relevant. I've never ever had problems selecting and typing in a text window like that before.
    I ended up having to submit a lost password email reset even though I still knew my old password. So that worked and I was able to reset my password and log in that way.
    But I just thought I should post to let Skype know that their method for resetting new password didnt work.

    Restart the computer with the Option key held down and see if a padlock appears on the screen; if so, you will need to provide the firmware password, an the C key shortcut is disabled. If not, insert the DVD, push the button with the curly arrow, click on the DVD, and then the button with the straight arrow.
