What kind of router are you using? Usually all you have to do is a google search for your router's IP address. Once you've found that just type it in as a URL and boom you will have a menu with all the stats and options for that router | |||

Try typing 192.168.1.1 into your address bar, if it works it pops up asking you for a username a pass. If you've never done this before, those should be set to default and are typically: username "admin", pass: "pass".
From here, it's probably different depending on what router you have. I have a linksys and the WEP key is under "Wireless" then Security. If you have WPA or whatever and linksys I'm sure it's under that as well. |

Originally posted by Xeu I do know that my ISP uses your home telephone number as a default password. But you can also call them up and retrieve it. They can track your number and replace it with a new password. |

Suggestion for future issues: Reset the damned router.
That little hole in the back...the one that says reset...it resets most models back to the original factory settings (including username/password). |

That could work, but I'd take other steps beforehand. Resetting it like that will basically force you to setup the connections and everything again. | |||

It's not that bad to set up stuff with a Linksys, it tends to set up everything without a hitch by itself. | |||

Some routers also have the option to backup the settings. Of course, this might not be from out of the box. But I know that the DD-WRT custom firmware has that option, at least. |
