However, if you create a complicated password, but forget to note it down for future use and keep using the router for years and years, then you will have no other option but to reset the password in order to get back the access to your router. It is just one of the many situations, which you may come across; therefore, you must know how to get out of such situations.

Usually, access to these router settings can be accessed by the browser by entering the address:

How to find the default user and password for the router

The first tip to find out the default password for a router is to try to find it as follows:

• If you have the router manual, read it, as this information may be there. Even if you have a manual of another model or manufacturer, you can try to use the default password, since they are often the same.
• If you do not have the manual, try searching in a search engine for the keywords of the router model along with the word password and default.
• Make sure the router does not have a sticker describing the model and other technical data besides the default access password. Mainly this is common in routers provided by the telephone operator itself.
• Try to use the default user used on most device routers, such as admin user and admin password. Or a blank username, as well as your blank password.
• Use a website called Router Passwords. There you find a plethora of standard users and passwords for various router models and manufacturers. The site can be accessed at http://www.routerpasswords.com/

If the tip of using default users did not work, let's go to the next step.

Reset the router to factory defaults

The routers come with a pushbutton that can be pressed to reset the settings to the factory settings. This will reset the changes that were made to the router software, resetting everything to the original form.

Unfortunately, with this process you will remove all the settings made from internet access login, open ports, parental settings, network, etc. Having to redo them later. But the good thing is that the user and password have returned to factory defaults and can use the tips from the previous topic to gain access.

Well, you will first have to find the reset button, which varies depending on the model and manufacturer of the router. If you have the manual in hand, just take a look at it to find as to where it is located.

However, the reset button is almost the same in all models of routers and even other types of devices, being similar to a little hole.

Then look behind the router (or the bottom) for that very fine hole where only fits a pin, nail or something similar. You can use press the button given inside the hole with a pin for 10 or 30 seconds while the router is on.

After releasing the button, the router will reboot to the factory settings. Now just use the default login data for this device and have access to the administrative interface again.
