Mmm - Wireless network.

[Alkaz]

When I set up my wireless network AGES ago, my dad told me to use his details when I set it up because we didnt realise it was password securing the network so now when we are trying to get onto it we cant remember any of the account details to get on to it or to recover the password.

Anyone have any idea of what we/I will have to do to try and get them reset/updated so I can access the wireless. Or could I set up a new network some how to connect to??

All decent help will receive +REP.

The only thing i can think of doing, if you can't remember the password, is doing a hard reset, which will reset the router to factory settings.

How do I do that? Sorry for the dumbness :P

Connect to it via Ethernet and go to 192.168.1.2/1 if netopia 192.168.1.254

There should be a button somewhere, or a very small one that you have to poke with a pin, it would help if you gave us your router brand and model! :P

[Alkaz]

Ohh sorry :P It is a netgear one, and is just cakked WirelessG0 Router.

Plug it in by an ethernet wire, and go to 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.2. Go in and change the password.

It is plugged in my an enthernet cable and them things dont work.

the small reset button is normally where the power supply is or somewhere on that back panel :)

[Alkaz]

Oh ye, so if i do that will it make me re-do the network security stuff?

[Flisker]

yea it will reset everything to how it was when you bought it. so you will have to redo it all.

Plug it in via ethernet, go to routerlogin.com in your browser (if you're also connected to the internet which I assume you are because you can post) and try logging in with username admin and password: password

If connected properly routerlogin.com should pop up asking you for a username and password immediately, you shouldn't be forwarded to the netgear website unless routerlogin.com isn't working properly or it's not recognising your router as being netgear.

In the admin control panel, once you're logged in, if you can login, it displays your wireless connection password etc.

I had all that when I first did it but I cannot remember the password or other details to get access to it to have laptops and other computers connected to it.

Underneath the router there is a small reset button. Hold it in for about 5 seconds then connect to your router using an Ethernet cable.

You could also try deleting your system32 folder.
