Where you will find the password of the router

If you want to reset your router on the company settings, you need to require username and the default password to process and change your Wi-Fi password.

There are many ways to find the following information:

1. Read the instructions of the router

Different types of browsers often use different combinations of usernames and passwords.

To find the router’s default username and password, check its manual.

If you’ve lost your manual, you can usually find it by Googling the router’s model number and “manual”.

Or just find the router model and default password on the manufacturer’s website.

2. Look for the logo of the router itself

Look for a sticker on the side or bottom of the router.

For some routers, their username and password are sometimes printed on the label of the router itself.

3. Check out RouterPasswords.com

Router Password makes it easy to find your backup router password.

If you don’t have a manual and the normal defaults don’t work, you can find usernames and passwords for different routers at RouterPasswords.com.

If you can not find the exact type of router you are looking for, try the password from another model from the same manufacturer, or try a common username and password.

By default, most browsers use the default username and password, admin username and password blank, or use admin as the username and password.
