    If you can log into the router, which you can find instructions for in the setup guide, then you can change the Wi-Fi password there. Otherwise, you will need to reset the router using the steps described in this article, and then use the password that is on the label on the bottom or side of the router.

    The password should already be reset when you reset the router. If you want to change it, then you can log in to the router, and access the Wi-Fi settings to change the password. If you don't know how to log into the router, then check the setup guide for additional information.

    It can take a few minutes after the reset for the router to come back up. If it still is not up after a few minutes, then it's possible that the Wi-Fi is off by default. You may have to log into your router to set it up. Check your routers setup guide for more info.

    The settings for the router login password are probably under the advanced options, so you can try to look there. If you still can't find it, then you can consult the router's manual. Most routers don't come with a manual, but you can find them on the manufacturer's website.
  • Question
    Which is the router, and which is the modem?
    R2_d2000
    Top Answerer
    The modem is probably the device that has one input port, and one output port. The router is probably the device that has multiple output ports, and it may have antennas on it. It's also possible that you may have a combo unit, which is a combination of both the router and the modem. In that case, they would be the same device.

    Where do I find the login page? My router doesn’t have a screen.

    Top Answerer
    The login address is probably listed on the bottom of your router on a label. You would take the IP or URL and type it into the address bar. You will probably access it by typing 192.168.1.1 into your browser address bar (If that does not work, then try 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.0.1). If those don't work, then check the setup guide that came with the router. If you don't have that anymore, then search online for the routers manual.

    I reset my Wi-Fi and I can't connect to it again because the default password at the bottom is worn away. What can I do?

    Don't worry. The default password is normally the same across router brands. Just search "Default router admin login for (router brand) routers" online, and then use that login. Then you can log in and set up your router as normal.

    Try to reset it again. If that still does not work, then it is possible that the router is defective. It may be possible to still save it. Try to reach out to the routers support for help.
