SolDios Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Connect to it via ethernet, next open command prompt and type "ipconfig /all"This should give you a long list of stuff, scroll up and find "Ethernet adapter" then look for a name with DHCP on the end, should have a set of numbers at the end like: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 etc.Next type that set of digits into Internet explorer or firefox. A prompt should come up asking for a username or password.Try:User: AdminPass: AdminOr User: AdminPassword: PasswordNext you should be in the router config page, navigate to the wireless section and there should be a field to put in a new password. Chuck that in and apply it, the router may need to restart. You will now need to re-put the password into all devices it was previously hooked up to as well.

SolDios Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The alternate method is to right click on your wifi icon and go network settings, then click view existing networks. Next right click on your home wifi network and go to options, one one of the top tabs it should show the pasword in *****'sClick show password.

I didn't see a show password button so do I just click in the field and it will give me an option to show password? anyways will play around tonight (albeit I now remember my password... well I remembered it yesterday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatLeSS Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Few links to help you out man, from what it says "Show Characters" is the checkbox you're looking for. Another trick is to disconnect from the network then connect again, when it prompts for your password it should be filled in and the same checkbox should appear.http://www.howtogeek.com/116934/how-to- ... n-windows/http://lallousx86.wordpress.com/2011/12 ... passwords/http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Your-WiFi-P ... -Forgot-It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 cool thanks. was wondering why I have never noticed that button before, but from one of the articles its because it wasn't available on XP. and ive only farked around with it on my XP machine.I notice the show password button is on the MacBook, so I guess I never have to remember it. hehehenow plus a million thumbs if someone can get me into my router without having to reset to factory settings!

ThatPartyGuy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 whats the router model and brand?there is an exploit in some routers where you paste a little bit of text in the url and it basically gains you admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Potential for this ^^Only other way to crack the admin password on a router you either need to use a dictionary attack or brute force.Either will take forever and too complex to explain here.Most the time it's easier / quicker to reset the router to factory and reconfigure with the same settings that are in it now.

Top notch man.After you do that, to ensure you're not going to have to do anything if you forget it again, back up the config to an external drive. That way you can just restore it's configuration Might be a good opportunity to go update firmware etc on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be obtained by a quick call to them if you don't know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
