Author Topic: how do i find password for router?  (Read 541 times)

i want to forward my ports, i looked at what badspot says to do but i cant get past step one because my pass is incorrect.

any ideas on where i can find the pass to my router?

You can't unless you've written it down somewhere. Most routers will have a reset button but that will erase any settings that are currently on there. If you've never set the password chances are it'll be 'admin'.

Your parents have probably changed it. You could ask them.
Or it could be any two of these (try different combinations):
Usernames:          Passwords:
admin                    admin
[blank]                  [blank]
root                       password

And, if all else fails, RTFM and look for 'Default Login' or similar.
