I recently reset my wireless router cause i was having problems with the
internet. now the router is back to factory settings but its locked so i cant
access it from my laptop because of this. when i type my IP into the address
bar a login screen comes up but it wont let me use admin or my user login
information. How do i get by this if it wont let me login?

Suggest logging into the router from your desktop and configure it from
there. Presuming you are employing a wireless router and attempting to
access it via the wireless link from your laptop. BTW would it be a Linksys
product? 192.168.1.1?? Been there!! Cheers

the desktop. and as a matter of fact it is the 192.168.1.1

Try it as blank, admin, administrator, linksys or dlink... Or password.

What kind of router is it?

Dear Experts,
I am working in an orginazation i am new here & previous
Network administrator changed the password of our router & i dont know which
series or which model router is. because its a white color Router without any
name.

i don't want to reset it because all configuration will be lost

is that any possibility that we can retreve password of Router?

If any kind of software then please send me the link on my email address.



Waiting for your best response

Given the information you've given us - no, there is no way to retrieve the
password. Reset the router and start over again.
