Router "Admin Password" Forgotten
4.5
You need to change your WiFi settings but you can't log into the router's admin page.
Symptoms
- Login failed
- Locked out
- Cannot change settings
Possible Causes
- Forgotten credentials
- Default password changed
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check the Sticker
Look for the default "Admin Password" on the bottom of the router.
2
Try Common Defaults
Try "admin/admin", "admin/password", or leaving the password blank.
3
Factory Reset
Hold the "Reset" pinhole for 15 seconds. This resets the password to the default on the sticker.
When to See a Technician
Factory resetting will also delete your WiFi name and password, so you'll need to set those up again.
