Download Peter Nordahl's wonderful program at http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ (from another computer, of course) and run from diskette or CD. It's a bit geeky, but you can use it to see the Administrator's User name (usually, but not always "Administrator") and to set the password to blank. Then, you remove the disk, and logon under that administrator's name and a blank password.

I keep getting the error 323. I forgot my name and pass to the router and i cant get on the internet through 192.168.1.1 because its not admin i changed that to. can u help and tell me what to do. i have...

Reset your router back to it's factory settings by holding the reset button for about 5 seconds. I have provided a list of the most popular router brands. If it does not work you may need to google what your specific model's default IP address/default username/default passwords are, for example search for "Encore ENHWI-2AN3 default IP address" The default login info can change, it can depend on where you obtained your router. If you purchased it yourself from a store then the standard defaults should work. If you obtained your router from your Internet Provider you may need to contact your service provider. It also may depend whether it's an old or new model router as well. And you may need to press and hold the reset button on your router several times before it actually clears. Make sure you have a wired connection then once you have accessed your router simply run the Setup Wizard. Set your SSID as something you'll remember like "Mavericks Network" and your Password can be something like your phone number for example 3109876543

Belkin - Username: Leave the field blank Password: Leave the field blank Default IP address is: 192.168.2.1

Buffalo - Username: root Password: Leave the field blank Default IP address is: 192.168.11.1

D-Link - Username: admin Password: Leave the field blank Default IP address is: 192.168.0.1

Encore - Username: admin Password: admin Default IP address 192.168.1.1

Linksys - Username: admin Password: admin Default IP address 192.168.1.1

NetGear - Username: admin Password: password Default IP address will be: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

TP-Link - Username: admin Password: admin Default IP address 192.168.1.1

TrendNet - Username: admin Password: admin Default IP address 192.168.10.1

Zhone - Username: admin Password: admin Default IP address 192.168.1.1

Zyxel - Username: admin Password: 1234 Default IP address 192.168.10.1

Since you forgot the security ket for the wireless network you need to access the router setup page using the a computer that is working fine with the router,
On the internet exploreer address bar of the working computer type in 192.168.1.1 , then that should be asking you for a username and password, just leave the username blank and password is admin. If tha admin password didn't work try typing your commonly use password.
If you're already on the setup page of the router, Just go to wireless tab then there's a wireless security sub tab there where you can find the security key that you need...

Hope that helps...........

How do you access your router from your PC?

Belkin Routers can be accessed by typing the following IP address in the address bar of Internet Explorer: I will give you two alternatives as off the top of my head I cannot remember!! When you have typed in your IP address for the Router, you will then be asked for a username & password. Try these: Router IP 192.168.2.1 USERNAME admin Password password If the password does not work try admin or just leave it blank If this is not the right IP try 192.168.1.1 and follow the same Username/Password as suggested above. Hope this works for you.
