Best bet is to ask her!


Lost Windows password:


  • Login as Administrator. Try with no password (load safe mode if you don't see Administrator). Press F8 during boot to access Safe Mode. XP only.
  • Login as other user (if other user is available) and manage users. Must be an administrator.
  • Reformat computer.
  • Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html
  • Free software option would be Hirens Boot CD. This one is command prompt only. http://www.hirensbootcd.org/ Must follow instructions exactly.

My username is 4 numbers. It won't let me log in saying I don't have enough characters. How can I log in or change my username so I can log in?

go into the log in page - hit "forgot user ID" - they will email you a new one or email you a link to pick a new one - use at least 8 characters. Then go back to log in enter & enter your new user name. Try your old password - if that doesn't work, hit "forgot password" & they'll let you reset.

A few weeks ago, one of my daughters friends changed my routers username and password, can you help me to find out how they managed to do this please many thanks mrs t holder

If you don't know the IP address of the router, you can open Windows Explorer, click 'Network', and then double-click your router. You'll be redirected to a webpage where you must put in a username and password. If THIS is the username/password she changed, the only way you can change it back without knowing what she changed it to is by resetting the router.This is usually done by pressing a small button near the back. If she changed the password that other computers use to CONNECT to the router (i.e. wireless), then you'll put in your username and password- the default is 'admin' and 'admin', unless you changed it- and from there you can enter the wireless settings to change the password back.

I set up wifi network in my home and forgot the password I used to set it up. Is there any way to recover that password?

Unfortunately, no. The only way to access your network again is to reset the router by holding down the reset button on the back (you might need to unplug it, then plug it back in while holding the reset button). That will reset your web interface (navigate to 192.168.1.1 in your browser while connected to the router)'s username and password to some form of the following:

Username: admin
Password: admin
Username: admin
Password: password
Username: admin
Password:

NOTE: The last combination is a blank password.

Once you've entered your router's web utility, you can set up your wireless again. Don't forget to write down the password...I wrote mine on the router itself, because honestly nobody can see it because it's in my house, so I don't have to worry about it being stolen.

How will I change the username and the password of the router? Because my friend is trying to connect to our internet here at home, but she can't connect because the router is asking for a password...

On your computer (the one connected to the router) open in browser http://192.168.1.1 and log into router's configuration page ... there on the "wireless" section you will find "Wireless security" ... there you can set up the password.
If you don't have access to the configuration page or you have problems setting up the password, you can always reset the router to it's factory settings. To do so you have to find a slightly hidden reset button on your router and push it (with a needle or something).
For more details read the manual at: http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/userguide/E1000_V10_UG_USA_NC-WEB.pdf
