Here you go, from Belkin's website

Reset the router to factory default Resolution With the router powered on, use a small thin object to press and hold the reset button for exactly seven seconds. The router lights will flash and this will restore the router to factory default. Connect your computer to one of the routers lan ports with an etherent cable. Open your web browser and navigate to 192.168.2.1. This should show the router status page with the default settings. SummaryThis article describes how to reset the router to factory default More InfoThis article assumes you cannot access the routers web interface.

You will need to do a hard reset by depressing the recessed button in the back of the router.

However, doing so resets the router totally, and you will need to restore all your previous settings.

SOURCE: lost password into router need reset

Use the reset button near where the AC adapter plugs in. Hold it in for at least ten seconds. This should set it back to factory, allowing you to set another password.

SOURCE: belkin wireless router reset password problems

You have to connect(wired) through one of the ports on the back of belkin to a laptop(or PC) physically.And this laptop(orPC) should have the software that came in the CD as part of the router packaging.
Then you open the web browser and and type http://192.168.1.1 on the address bar.This should let you access the router from where you can configure your settings..Network name,password,password for the router itself etc.

SOURCE: forgot password to login

the only way to bypass it is to reset all your settings:
1. find the reset button (it's a small hole the size of a sharp pencil)
2. press on the rest button for at least 10 sec.
3. login with the factory default login.

SOURCE: Forgot my security password (network key)I need to

Logon to your router from your computer using your browser and going to http://192.168.1.2/. If it wants a username, the default username is blank and the default password is either blank or "password".


The Belkin management tool will come up. From there, go into your security and look to see if your passphrase is visible. If it is, you're good to go. If not, you can change it on that page save it and close out.
Don't forget to change the passphrase on any wireless devices you are using connected to the Belkin wireless router.

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 password on belkin 126 router how do I recover it

Any router that you cannot remember the password to your only choice is to reset the router to factory default and reconfigure it.
To reset a Belkin router:

Press and hold the Reset button for 15 seconds. The router automatically reboots when it resets. Wait approximately one minute until the router restarts, and then navigate to "192.168.2.1" using any Web browser. Leave the Password field blank and click "Submit" to connect to the Web-based interface

Forgot my Belkin password

If you forgot your wireless password you can take a pin-sized object and hold down the button located in a small hole that is likely labeled "reset" for a few seconds to reset the router to its factory defaults. This will reset your password, but in some cases will require you to call your cable company to re-instate internet access. Hope this helps.
