Restoring the Default User Name and Password
You can restore the factory default configuration settings which resets the router’s User Name to
admin, the Password to password, and the IP address to 192.168.1.1. This procedure erases your
current configuration and restores the factory defaults.
To restore the factory default configuration settings:
1.
Use a sharp object like a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the default reset button, located
on the rear panel of the router, for about 20 seconds (see “Back Panel” on page 3).
2. Release the reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
The factory default settings will be restored so that you can access the router from your web
browser using the factory defaults.
