You can also visit your router manufacturer's website and look for the default password and username information for your router model.

Here is a word of caution for you and that is this procedure involves hard resetting the router. It erases all your existing settings and configurations for a wired or wireless connection. Since you will have to start from the scratch after resetting the router, you must back up or save your existing router settings before beginning.

Let's begin! Locate the Reset button, a tiny hole (see the picture) on your router. It will be at the back of your router. Take a sharp object like pen or paper clip and insert it into the Reset hole (as shown in the picture). Press the button and hold for 20-30 seconds. Release it afterwards. You will see that all the light on the router will flicker and then turn off and come back on. Let the router reboot fully.

Enter the default username and password for your router and hit the Enter key.

Some router makes and models may have different IP address as specified by their manufacturers. You can refer to your router's documentation or website for the IP address information. As far as the default username and password are concerned, a large number of router models use 'admin' and 'password' alternatively. Yet again, you must check your router's manual for the information.
