DON'T KNOW WHAT D-LINK IS. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CHANGE BOTH MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD, AS THE FORMER SEEMED TOO PERSONAL AND THE PASSWORD WOULD AT ONE TIME GO THRU, THEN SPORADICALLY, UNTIL NOW IT IS REFUSED ALTOGETHER. I SIMPLY WANT TO CHANGE THEM, BUT DO NOT KNOW THE SIMPLE PROCESS. THANKS!

It's not the username and password from your ISP. If you try to access your router and you have not changed anything, use the following values:
username = admin
password = admin

Once in the router interface, you will have to configure the router for your DSL-modem (I guess it's DSL since Windstream does not produce cable modems.)
Here fill in the username and password your ISP provided you with.

Let me know if you have any questions.

If you're sure about your username - click on Can't access your account? under the login box.Check the first option "I don't know my password" and you'll be asked for an email where your login details/reset password instruction to be sent. You'll have to answer few questions (like security questions and contact details you've set when registering).

Its a bit tricky, but whole process is less than half an hour even if it fail first time

Hi,
Since you reset the router, the username and password were set back to its default values as well. For Netgear, the username and password is: Username = admin Password = password

Yes you can! First of all plug in a LAN cable from one of the available ports on the router into your Mac. After that, open up your browser and type 192.168.1.1
You will get a login prompt. Usually the username is admin and the password is admin but if that doesn't work always check the bottom side of your router, the details should be printed there.
If you've logged in successfully you will be in the administrative panel of your router, simply go to the Wireless settings, then go to Security. Enable it and choose your encryption method(WPA2/Personal is usually preferred but you can always try WEP) then insert a password into the according box. After that, save changes, unplug your cable and restart your router. You should need a password next time you connect to your network.
Have fun :)

If you don't know the IP address of the router, you can open Windows Explorer, click 'Network', and then double-click your router. You'll be redirected to a webpage where you must put in a username and password. If THIS is the username/password she changed, the only way you can change it back without knowing what she changed it to is by resetting the router.This is usually done by pressing a small button near the back. If she changed the password that other computers use to CONNECT to the router (i.e. wireless), then you'll put in your username and password- the default is 'admin' and 'admin', unless you changed it- and from there you can enter the wireless settings to change the password back.

Hello
Try typeing in 192.168.1.0 in your browser address bar,Hit enter.
Username= admin
Password = admin or the word password.
This should get you to the routers homepage where you can make changes.

By holding down the button in the back, you may have reset it to factory defaults for the password and username. Try using Admin for the user name and motorola for the password.

Unfortunately, no. The only way to access your network again is to reset the router by holding down the reset button on the back (you might need to unplug it, then plug it back in while holding the reset button). That will reset your web interface (navigate to 192.168.1.1 in your browser while connected to the router)'s username and password to some form of the following:

Username: admin
Password: admin
Username: admin
Password: password
Username: admin
Password:

NOTE: The last combination is a blank password.

Once you've entered your router's web utility, you can set up your wireless again. Don't forget to write down the password...I wrote mine on the router itself, because honestly nobody can see it because it's in my house, so I don't have to worry about it being stolen.
