HELP! I have LOST my password for my 2Wire wirless router!!?

Question

Is there any way that I can recover it? I can't add my new computer onto it, without the password. And about a year ago when I first set up the system, I didn't provide a password hint to help me remember it.

Has anybody came across this problem, & how did you solve it.

It would be much help to me, considering I can't get my new computer online.

Thanks.

Answer 1

There should be a tiny reset button somewhere on the router. You will prolly have to use a pen tip or something to press it in. You ussually have to hold it for 2-3 seconds for it to work. It will re3set everything to "factory", meaning it wil be like you just bought the router. Most likely the default password is "password", or there is none until you set it. If you have problems after the reset, goto manufacturer website, and you should be able to enter you model number and get a manual. The manual should tell you what the default password is.

Answer 4

When I had my LinkSys router (major piece of crap, never buy a LinkSys branded router!) you could easily reset it. You would have to go through the set up process again but I guess it's totally worth it if it means you can go back wireless again.

there must be a reset button somewer on the router,.. or a little hole where you can stick a pencil in to reset it
