WRT54GS what is the setup password.. please help

I just bought this router.. when i go to set it up i come up to step 8 and it asks for a password. Ive tried everything including admin.. does anyone know what i should type in? to get me to the next step..please help

Press the reset the button of router for 30 seconds to make sure all the settings are reset. Since the set-up CD did not run and configure properly for the 1st time. You may try configuring the router manually.
1st what is the exact model number and version number of your router? You may find it underneath the router itself on one of the stickers. Example would be the image below.
If it is WRT54G v5 or v6 then you need to upgrade the firmware (operating system of the router) to make it work to it's maximum potential.
To upgrade the firmware:
1. Connect computer directly to modem and download the file to your desktop from www.linksys.com/downloads (search for your product model number on the list)
2. Connect modem-router internet port
3. Connect computer to router port 1
4. click on start - run (type in cmd
5. on the DOS prompt type in ipconfig (take note of the default gateway)
6. open up internet explorer and type in 192.168.1.1 (i.e default gateway)
7. go to the Administration tab and go to Firmware Upgrade
8: click on browse - search for the downloaded file - click on open and then click on upgrade
9. after it says upgrade successful - rebooting - click on continue
10. press reset button of the router for 30 seconds and powercycle (i.e turn off and turn back on router)
After you have done this. Connect your computer back to the modem and go to www.linksys.com/easy and use EasyLink Connect to configure the router.

    Hi wdriver,
    It seems like due to some unknown reason permission from the Licensing folder is removed. Please try launching any of the apps by right clicking and select Run as an Administrator, it should fix the issue by doing that.
    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Hi, I forgot my email and password and my iphone need to activate i dont know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I dont wanna lose my phone :(

    hi, I forgot my email and password and my iPhone need to activate i don't know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I don't wanna lose my phone.

    IF you forget your email and password and you are stuck in the activation process, it usually gives you a clue on what is your email like w********[email protected] If you really own the phone, you already have a clue on what is that email add. Then go to appleid.apple.com, click on manage my device, enter what you think is your email addy (no harm in trying that it wont lock) then click on i forget password. This will give you an option to either sent the password to an alternate email. If you have several, then sad to say you have to open it one by one and check including your spam mails. Another option is to answer some security questions you made while creating an apple id. Your last option is to call apple support. If you know the email add and you can prove ownership, they can reset the password for you

  • I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    <Edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your iPod's serial number address from your post.
    Only you can activate your iPod by typing in your id and password, or you can remove a device from your account via http://icloud.com . If you can't remember your account id then do you have any of its downloads on your computer's iTunes : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com . You can also reset your password via the 'iforgot' site, or you can contact Support in your country and they should be able to reset your password (as long as you can prove your id and that it's your account) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    iOS 7 and activation lock : iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
    If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

    Sounds like you may have a harddrive issue.  You are probably going to need to get that changed out and then install the OS X again to get it going.
