  • Linksys routers use “admin” as the default administrator password
    To reset it to the default administrator password, you will need to reset the router to factory default settings.
    If you would like to change the admin password according to your preference you need to access the router page
    A prompt will appear asking for your User Name and Password. Enter your login credentials to access your router’s web-based setup page.
    Click on the Administration tab. Enter the new password in both the Router Password and Re-enter to confirm field
    Click Save Settings and click the Continue button on the next page.
