The Linksys router’s default password is “admin”. If that password isn’t working for you, or you know that you had changed it but forgot what it was, you can follow these easy steps in resetting your router’s password (and it’s settings):

1. In order to restore the router to it’s factory default setting, find the “RESET” button located on the back of the router and hold it in for at least 30 seconds. Doing so will cause a hard reset, which means everything is reset to how it was when you first took it out of the box. The difference between a hard reset and a normal reset is that a hard reset completely wipes all of the settings from the router, where a regular reset may be used to help refresh and restart the router.
2. Once you’ve waited at least 30 seconds, you may stop holding in the reset button. The router will then have hard reset. If you’re not sure that it worked, you can always try holding the reset button in again.
3. The next step is to login to the router so you may change your settings how you would like. First, open up a web browser.
4. In the web browser’s address bar, type the following address: http://192.168.1.1/
5. This will open up your router’s login page. Here you will be prompted to enter your username and password.
6. If you have an older router, the username should be set to blank (just leave the field empty) and the password should be set to “admin”. If you have a newer model, both the password and the username should be set to “admin”. If you aren’t sure which option to choose, just try both methods to see which one lets you login.
7. Once you are able to get in, you should change the default password. Try to make it something memorable. It may be a good idea to write the password down in a safe spot in case you are to ever forget it (again).

Hopefully after following this 7 easy steps you were able to login to your router’s configuration page. If you have a different router, you may try searching around this page, which has a list of a ton of default router passwords for numerous different makes. However, if you were successfuly in resetting your passwords, then give yourself a well deserved pat on the back for a job well done!
