Answer 1

If you hard wire a connection to the router and browse to it ( 192.168.1.1 ) on older models the username is blank and the password is admin.  On newer systems the username and password is admin.  You can do a factory reset on the device if that does not work by holding in the reset button pulling the power, keep holding the reset button and power back on.

Answer 2

google it?

Answer 3

Do you still have the disc you used to set up your router?

If so, uninstall your router, and reinstall it.  Rename your  network and give it a new password

Answer 4

If you're using a Linksys wrt54g router, and you cannot change the wireless WEP or WAP, then my only suggestion is to do a hard reset by pressing down on the reset button in the back of the wireless router.

Answer 5

if you are going to 192.168.1.1 the username is admin and password is blank, or user name and password are admin. Something like that, can't remember though

Answer 6

Go to the computer where the router is hooked up to. First click on internet explorer then at the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 a screen asking for a username/pass should pop up type in admin for username and admin for password. From there click on Wireless then underneight it should have a tab that says Wireless Security in light gray click that. from there you can see what the password(s) are under Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4

Answer 7

go to Linksys.com and follow the  troubleshooting tips

they have a link or website to go to to access your router

and you can either access your codes or reset them
