Try these...
username: password: (blank means no password)
administrator administrator
operator operator
administrator

(less likely ones)
anonymous
user user
user public
PFCUser 240653C9467E45

If these all fail, reset your router and try again.

Hello,
Unfortunately without the exact model number we aren't able to help you precisely as we could. However, Compaq uses the following username/password combinations for their routers:

Combination #1
Username: administrator
Password: administrator

Combination #2
Username: administrator
Password LEAVE BLANK

Combination #3
Username: operator
Password: operator

Please let me know if I can further assist you.

Regards,
KYTechnology

Check the back of the router for a small pinhole with "RESET" written next to it, almost every consumer router has one. Holding this in for 10-15 seconds will reset your router to factory defaults.
Usually the router manual has the default router username/password combination on it, otherwise it will be on a sticker on the underneath of the router.

Here are some default username/password combinations: Administrator/administrator operator/operator administrator/none (just leave it blank)
If none of these work, try resetting your router to factory defaults (there is probably a reset switch on the back) and then trying them again.

SOURCE: i cant access my router(EDIMAX BROADBAND ROUTER)

Warning the following instructions are likely to RESET THE ENTIRE CONFIGURATION OF THE ROUTER and you will need to reenter it completely. Do not follow these instructions unless you are prepared to reconfigure your router completely from the factory defaults. I am not sure but be careful or consult with EDIMAX support before proceeding.


note the following is from the http://www.edimax.us/ website follow technical support and click

BR-6104 / 6104W / 6104P

Then

If I forget my password, what can I do?

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: linksy router lem....!!!!

Try the following to reset it to the factory defaults.

Warning! This will reset all the settings in the router! Including any custom setup stuff, like WPA key, etc.

Turn the router on. Press and hold the reset button on it for 30 seconds. The reset button is usually a small recessed button on the back of the unit depending on which model you have.

Now you should be able to connect to it through your browser at http://192.168.1.1. Depending on your model, the username is blank and the password is "admin" (without the quotes) OR both username & password are "admin". Note that you will need to connect your computer to the router with a network cable to go through the setup process - you can't do it wirelessly.

SOURCE: I forgot the router's username and password.

Try admin, admin. If that doesn't work press the reset button and it will restore the factory settings. You will have to reconfigure the router.

SOURCE: lost username and password for router

Hi,

To reset the password on the router, switch it off, press and hold the 'reset' button whilst switching the power back on. Keep holding the reset button until all of the LAN lights blink, and your router will be reset back to the way it was when it left the factory.

This only applies to get round the settings installed on the router. You will have to input all the telefonica settings again so that your router can connect to the internet. Resetting the router will not solve any problems regarding telefonica passwords or user names - for this, you (or the account holder) will have to contact telefonica directly.

I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: i cant access my router

192.168.1.1 is the router's Ip address which will take to you to its ADMIN console. Defualt username is: admin and password is: password or admin. Try these. Once logged in you can then configure the router as required. Dont forget to set the WEP key to make your wireless network secure. WRT54G2 is the name of your router which is sending you the request to fill in the login details.

Cant login never had username or password if i did i forgot

Depending on which revision you have there are two possibilities

Default Username is: admin
Default Password is: password
or
Default Username is: admin
Default Password is: admin

If neither of these work - you may have setup a new username and password and forgot - on the router you will see a reset point - reset the router to factory defaults and the username and passwords above will now work.

If this helped you then please help me and vote kindly, thank you.

I lost my network security key, router is not working.

Get the user manual to verify how to make a master reset on your router. There should be a small button inside a very little hole, on the back, that you should press with a pen.

Try admin as the password and username.
That is the default password. Please make sure you reset the password once you get in as to keep your router secure.
