Well I enter my ip adress in my browser bar and the login prompt comes up. So I type in admin in the password and hit enter and it does not work. I'm not sure if anyone has made a user name or password. Is there a way I can get a user name and password to login to this or am I just screwed?

Are you trying to access your router / modem control panel using something similar to these?

On some router / modems the default username and password is the same admin.

If this has been changed by someone else, you have no way of getting in...

Hi spkid18,

There's normally a default password set on routers, these can normally found in the router manual. However, default passwords are normally.

Username: admin
Password: [blank]

Username: admin
Password: admin

username: admin
Password: password

And finally for the older netgear models:
Username: admin
Password: 1234

If not, it is possible to reset the password on *some* routers. If you give me the make and model?

EDIT: Sorry Arctos, didn't realise you posted.

I have a linksys wrt54g and none of those password's worked thanks so far.

errrr... ok, the Linksys routers normally have a reset button. Holding this button in for 30 seconds will perform a hard reset, and should reset your password (should be admin, admin), but it will also reset all of your settings also.

No worries mate...

Well I rested my router and forgot how hard it was to set up so i just went and got a plug and go router. Now its fine. Thanks linksys sucks
