How to Reset your LinkSys Router’s Password

All LinkSys router passwords are normally set up at the same time as the initial router setup but may be changed at any time. For security purposes the default password “admin” should be updated. It is important to reset the password in order to avoid unauthorized users from accessing the router’s web page. Updating the password from the default password is also an important step in enabling the remote management option. Again, the Linksys router’s default password is “admin”. All Linksys routers have a built-in web-based setup page where users may customize settings and set up advanced properties. Password details are included in these setting options.

The easiest method of resetting your Linksys router’s password is to reset your router back to the default factory settings. This is done by simply holding down the reset button located on the back of the unit for at least 30 seconds. Once the router has been reset, it must be reconfigured. Using your web browser go to URL address http://192.168.1.1. You will then be prompted to login to your router. A log-in screen asking for the password will automatically appear. At this time enter the default password “admin”, in lower case letters into the password field. The username field may be left blank at this time. (Note: both the default username and default password are set to “admin” on some of the newer Linksys router models). Once logged in you may reconfigure your router settings accordingly. You should also be given the option to remember the password in your “keychain”. To simplify future logins simply check the “YES” box and proceed.;

For additional privacy, you may continue reconfiguring the Linksys router by clicking on the “Management” tab and updating the administrator password as well. This will help to prevent others from using your router. Further precautions may also be taken by enabling the WEP or WAP security settings.

NOTE: Before accessing the router’s web-based setup page, the router must be powered on and the computer should be wired to one of the Ethernet ports on the router (1, 2, 3 or 4 ).
