The default password for my linksys router isn't working. help?

Question

I got a Linksys router last night, and we popped in the CD, and tried 'admin' for the password. .Didn't work. I tried resetting it numerous times (holding the little button for about 30 seconds), then trying to enter the default password again, and it didn't work. I am confused. What could be going on?:

I enter 'admin' for the password. It doesn't even ask me for a username. i've tried resetting the router, ;admin still doesn't work. i've tried leaving it blank, i tried just using 'password'. i really don't understand why this won't work. :[

Answer 1

Your router doesn't have a password by default. The password field should be blank until you assign a password to it. Try to get into the router first and set your password from inside the setup not at the first screen. Using ADMIN for password won't work since Admin is also the default User name for the Router. Use a different password.

By defautl ALL LINKSYS routers use ADMIN for the password. you do not enter a username! If you enter a username the admin password will not work.. be sure to enter lower case admin
