Can I reset my linskys wifi without knowing the password?

I have a Linskys wifi thing and I put a password on it, but now I cant remember what it is so when people come over they cant connect. is there a way to reset it to where there is no password without knowing the password???

Answer #1

If you have forgotten your LinkSys router password, the easiest thing to do is to reset your router to the factory default settings. To restore the router configuration to factory defaults, hold the reset button on the unit for 30 seconds. Once your router is hard reset, you will need to login and reconfigure it again. To reconfigure your LinkSys, connect a PC to one of it’s Ethernet ports, load a web browser, and go to the URL http://192.168.1.1/. This will take you to a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password to login to your router.

LinkSys Default Password On older LinkSys routers, the default username is blank and the default password is “admin.” On newer Linksys routers, both the default username and the default password are set to “admin.” Once you are past the login screen, you are able to reconfigure the LinkSys router.

Default user names: Linksys BEFW11S4, WRT54G: admin Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Ethernet routers: Administrator Linksys Comcast routers: comcast All other Linksys routers: [none] Default passwords: Linksys BEFW11S4: [none] Linksys Comcast routers: 1234 All other Linksys routers: admin Where the word [none] is listed above, no name or password is required. Simply skip or press the Enter/Return key when prompted for those settings
