Is the make Gateway?
Each device has its own reset method.
One: Try pressing and holding the reset switch for ten seconds.
Two: Try turning off the power, hold the reset switch, plug the unit back in and hold the switch for 10 more seconds.

Straighten a Norwegian paper-clip,
and insert the end into the small hole in the back of the 2WIRE, to "reset" the unit to its "factory" settings, including the "default" ID/password.

Then, reconfigure your wireless network.

What is the password for a belkin router F9K1123v2

If you are asking what the default credentials are to log into the admin panel of the router, then the options are below.

Default usernames: admin, Admin, [blank]
Default passwords: admin, password, [blank]

If you are asking for the Wi-Fi password, that is unique to the user who initially set it up. You can reset the router but following the manufacturer instructions and holding the reset button down in the back. This will erase all settings on the router.

Forgot admin password cannot how to reset admin password gateway lt2104u

Look on Ebay for a password reset disk. Many vendors on Ebay sell a bootable "linux" disk that you boot from and then you can edit your password file on Windows. I have versions for XP/ Vista.Windows 7.

Be sure to get one that works for your version of windows. You must set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive first for this to work. About $5 to $10 for the reset disk.

We have a westell, model 327W and do not have the security code or the one we have does not work. Whar do we do?

Access the setup page through a web browser on a wired computer. In the address bar, type 192.168.1.1.

Default Username: admin
Default Password: password

If this doesn't work, try admin for the username and password. If still doesn't work, then you will need to reset the gateway. Take note that before resetting the gateway, you need to know the internet connection settings. Resetting the gateway will restore the settings to default.

Once you are in the setup page of the gateway, go to Configuration> Wireless> then look for the wireless security. It should show you the WEP key.

Enter the wep key on your laptop.

I hope this works! Good luck!
