Answer 1

you need to change the logon details stored on the router

Answer 2

reset the router to factory defaults

with the router plugged in use a pin in the back to hold down the reset switch

set up the router from scratch

Answer 3

To get into the router connect it to your computer, open your internet browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address window, this will take you to the location to change settings in most routers, unless it hass been changed from the factory, if you got the router from your friend they should have the access information, otherwise just use the factory logon info to get into it.
