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.

  • Unable to create a password for my BEFW11S4 wireless router

    I had to reset my router in order to gain access to it via the web.  I then used the default username and password to get in.  Once in, I found a 16 digit password that I have been unable to change under the password tab.  Why can't I change the password for my router?

    Hi ibchuckd,
    I believe you have actually changed your password.  Linksys routers will add extra characters to the field when you save it.  Just consider those extra characters as space holders...nothing more.

  • Possible to create separate passwords for admin and main user account?

    Hello,
    My ex wife is going to lend me her Macbook so I can open a separate account to transfer 30K critical business emails from my current Macbook Pro to Mail.app whilst it gets replaced by Apple.
    I still need to work with these emails over the week I'll be left without the computer.
    I was thinking, when requesting to import the mailboxes from my External HD, will it ask for a administrators password?
    She's a bit paranoid about giving me it if that's the case, even though I couldn't give a toss... so is there a way to password protect her main user account with one password, and create another admin password for importing an external mail folder - as OSX sometimes asks for an admin password to install apps etc.
    If I can just use a guest account and import the 'Mail' and 'Mail Downloads' folders from my library to a separate Mail.app on her computer without a password, then great.
    If it's the case the admin password is needed, please let me know ASAP so we can make arrangements for her to hang around to type it in whilst I initially make the transfer - which would be a right royal pain because I'd have to tidy the house up and put some putpourri out and ****.
    TIA

    She can create a new account for you to use. She can set it up as a new Standard account which restricts you from admin privileges. You can use the same username and password as you use on your machine. You will have access to the standard OS X applications such as Mail so you can download your email into a separate account. This can be configured to be exactly the same Mail account you use on your machine.
    Once your use of her machine is finished and you've transferred your data to your machine, she can log into her admin account and delete the Standard account you were using.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
    From iTunes: About iOS backups:
    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • I am a chemistry teacher and trying to create an app for my students.   How can I learn to do this?

    I am a Chemistry teacher and am trying to create an app for my students.  Our books are way out of date and I am needing wisdom to learn to do this.  Please help!

    Hello and thank you for your email!  I am currently using the  2004 version of Prentice Hall.  Our books have been taped  many times and are in very rough shape.  We have one portable computer cart for our entire high school and do not have wi fi, yet our school in Ludington, MI has been ranked top 8% in the nation for academic success.  My passion is teaching kids to think outside the box and I believe teaching them to create an app for a tough chemistry concept will be am amazing experience!  I think the reason our American children are falling behind is because we are not teaching them according to the way they are wired.  I may be wrong but need to find out.  Creating this app will be both a learning experience and a research opportunity.  Thank you so much for your words of wisdom as I begin the uphill climb in my journey. Please don't hesitate to continue to send wisdom!
    Sincerely,

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

    Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

    Hi,
    How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
    I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
    DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
    After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving  the message that Incorrect logon and password.
    (Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
    Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
    -B S B

    Hi again:
    I forget to tell.
    You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
    Hope this wil help,
    Eric
