Password not known

Hi,

If you know your recent password, try this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274

If you do not know your previous password, try this:

• Boot from the Mac OS X installer disk by inserting it into the Mac and holding down the "C" key on boot
• Select your language preferences and then under the "Utilities" menu select "Password Reset" (it may say "Reset Password" instead, depends on the version of Mac OS X)
• Select the hard disk that the forgotten password is on, then select the username of the forgotten password, you'll then be asked to select a new password
• Reboot as usual from the hard drive, using your newly reset password as the login!

Thanks,
Charvin

try getting the pervious owner to call the provider and they should replace it after asking a few security questions

The wifi password is set internal to the router by the router's administrator. If that was you, then you are saying you've forgotten the password. If that is NOT you, you are asking for the password. You must get that from the administrator of the router. If you have a used router, it may have been previously setup by another admin and you are trying to access it. If the previous administrator left the unit in its default state, it can be accessed at IP 192.168.0.1. The default user name is to be left blank, and the default password is admin (lower case). If that doesn't work, you ay have no choice but to reset the router to get it back to defaults so you can gain access to it. There will be a reset switch somewhere on the unit (usually accessible thru a small opening) that you must press and hold for a period of time. Be warned that this will erase all custom setting in the router and will require a new setup, but will allow you to regain access using the default user name and password.

This is known as a BIOS password. If you bought the pc 2nd hand you should ask the previous owner for the password. If you have physical access to the motherboard itself, reset the CMOS by taking out the battery in the motherboard.

if you have changed the password from the default, you must reset the router.
then you can use the default password.
if you have not changed the password, and simply dont remember the default log on is:
username: (keep blank)
password: admin (all lowercase)

That would be the user name and pwd your internet provider gave you. Sometimes that would be the same as your email address but could be a separate one. If you don't recall what it was the best thing to do is call your provider and ask them. They will probably ask other questions first to varify your are the owner of the account. Router's don't ask for your ips's login however. Perhaps it is the login and password for the belkin itself you are needing? If so and you've forgotten it you'll have to reset the router and set it up again.

During the boot up process you will see on the screen press a certain key to enter set up

Press either delete or f2 during the boot up process to enter BIOS scroll down to set user password or supervisor password you can change or remove your password from there

hope this helps

Have you tried to leave it blank; Belkin ships without password - you have to set it yourself once logged on?

If somebody else, like a previous owner, has set a password you have only two options, ask the guy or do a "hard reset" of the router:

hard reset is the way. unless you try to guess your password...

Do you have a wireless security protocol enabled, and if so, what? Install a wired connection to the router (use an ehternet cable to connect your laptop's RJ-45--looks like a wide phone plug--into one of the Belkin router's network jacks). Go to the router's management page using your web browser (probably http://192.168.2.1). If you have not previously set the password in your router, simply leave the password field blank and CLICK "Submit". If you have previously password protected your Belkin router, use the known password. If you have forgotten your password... you'll need to reset your router.
 
Reest Router: there is usually a small hole into whiuch a pin or paper clip can be inserted for this purpose or a small button to press. Most Belkins--IIRC--have the button. 

Once you are on the Belkin router's management page, look for the wireless link and set your security protocol to match what your wireless card is capable of, set the password, save and exit. Use the sasme password in configuring wireless networking in Windows.
