Wireless router problem...

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Wireless router problem...

I went to a womans house to set up her wireless router for her, but, she's forgot the password she set on it. Is there anyway round this?

It's a CISCO LinkSYS 2.4Ghc Wireless

Any ideas?

Is she sure she actually changed it? I think the default password is usually 'admin'.

[edit] Usually 'admin' for username, too, I think.

Yep, she changed it. Then listed off a list of about 20 passwords it could have been. I mean, i came the next day. I'm surprised she can get into her windows account.

RossC, I just happen to have one of those...

Hold the little reset button thing in on the back of the router for about a minute. dont slip. it resets several times in the process, but the password is reset after.

Reset button... Didn't notice one. I'll def try that though, thanks man :o)

They ormally are really, really tiny... Sometimes even just one of those little holes you need to insert a paperclip through.

Anyway, you should be able to find the definitive answer in the documentation of the router... If you know the make/model, you can normally look it up on the manufacturer's website.
