The 21st century is the time of information technology. Watch a football match in real time, chat with friends and relatives, without leaving home, even if they are thousands of kilometers away, make purchases lying on the couch, study at the university remotely - all this has become possible in our time. To do this, you only need a computer and Internet access.
Nowadays, it’s not difficult even at home to create a small network of several computers connected to the Internet. After all, every member of the family wants to use the Internet. It will help to make this special device - a router (router), thanks to which you can connect several computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. to the network at once.
In order to enter the device’s web interface, you need to enter the user name and password that were set by the manufacturer, adjuster or personally by the user. But there are times when the user forgot the password from the router. How to be in such a situation?
In this case, we can recommend the following:
- If no one changed the factory settings, you can try to enter the standard username admin, password password or username admin, password admin. As a rule, it is this modification of the login to the system that is set by the manufacturers of the routers. If all else fails, a user who has forgotten the password for the router can turn to the Internet for help and find information on the network. There are sites where you can find information about standard passwords for routers of various manufacturers.
- If the adjuster installed the router, then it is possible that during the installation he used the product serial number as a password. In this case, you should find the data (serial number) in the user manual or on the packing box. On some models, the number may be printed on a sticker on the device itself. A user who forgot the password from the router, and in this case, can easily solve the problem.
- If none of these options is suitable, there is only one way out - to reset the router. But in this case, it should be remembered that as a result of the reset, all user settings will be deleted. And this means that it will take some time to restore them. But in the end, a user who has forgotten the password from the router will be able to log into the device’s control system and, having reconfigured the network, enter a new username and password that he will come up with and use the router.
And now in detail about how to do this:
- find the “Reset” button on the device and click on it. As a rule, it looks like a small recess in the panel (this is so that you can not click it accidentally). After pressing this button, not only the login and password are reset, but also all the settings of the router to the factory data;
- enter the control system under the factory login and password (as a rule, login admin, password password or admin login, admin password) and enter a new login and password;
- connect the device to the Internet and reconfigure it.
In the end, I would like to wish all those who forgot the password of the router to write down new data and keep the record in a safe place.
