How to get password to your Wireless Router? - Gregarious - 01-06-2011
Ok, I am at my friends house and I wanna connect to his wireless internet on my laptop. The connection is locked and he doesn't know the password to his own stuff.
I was wondering, how could he recover the password to it?

Best bet is to do a hard reset on the router and restore it to factory settings. That way though you'll need to reconfigure everything.

And how would I do that?

Press and hold the reset button for like 20 seconds or more till you see all lights go out and back on. It will be reset back to default pass.

Try admin:admin
thats what the default login is for most routers.

It might give you an option to input the PIN instead of the keyword, which is located on the router itself, f you just want computer access to it.

Do admin for the username then for password do password

This will probably won't work if he has changed the password.

If you want to reset the password to default on the router (192.168.1.1 as default (SOMETIMES)) you have to hard reset it.
Normally you just hold down the reset button for about 10-30 seconds, and the router will do something.
Worked? ;)
