The person who gave me Linksys WRVS4400N router decided to put a name and password on it that I cannot remove. I was wondering if there is any way to wipe it and restart it because the reset button on the back didn't work.

Basic step for login Linksys Router :

• remove the router and modem power plug.
• connect your router with modem.
• power up router and modem.
• open the Web Browser - 192.168.1.1
• username- admin or blank and password- admin.

that's all for login
if looking for more help http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/linksys and Router Support for setting up your router setting.

You'll need to hold the reset button in for 15 seconds or so. It should then reset. You should be able to connect it to your PC or laptop with a cable (wireless won't work) and when you open an internet browser, you should be taken to the configuration screen.

Here's how you can put a password for your Linksys WRT300N Wireless Router

1. Open your browser (IE, Firefox, or Chrome)
2. Type 192.168.1.1
3. Type these credentials
•un: admin
•pw: admin
4. On the Linksys Homepage, click on the "Wireless" Tab on top.
5. Click on "Basic Wireless Settings" just underneath the "Wireless" Tab
6. Rename your Network Name (SSID) to your desired name.
6.1. Click Save Settings
7. Click on "Wireless Security" (on top, beside "basic wireless settings")
8. Change your security mode from "disabled" to "WEP2 Personal"
(sub options should appear after)
9. On the Pre-Shared Key box, type in the password that you want to create for your wireless network.
(make sure you write this down and keep a copy in case you forget your password)
10. Click Save Settings.

Your done. No more free internet for your neighbors.

Hope this helps.

If all of this fail you'll need to reset your linksys router so that it will also reset the password to the default. To reset you linksys router you can check it out on this website: http://technicallyeasy.net/2008/01/how-to-reset-linksys-wrt54g-wireless/
Note: Reseting your router means it's going to reload the factory default settings and all of the settings that you made on your router will be deleted permanently.

Did you assign the wireless mac address of your router on your extender ? Whats the brand of your router ?

Reset the router to default....the default username and password is usually on the bottom of the router..then open a web page on your pc and connect the router with a network cable..type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
Use the generic name and password to logon....once logged in, configure username and password and wifi...once setup..save and exit..disconnect and connect router to internet modem...log onto pc and look for your wifi neteork name..cheers

Hi,

To access your Linksys router open a web browser and type: 192.168.1.1
Default username: admin
password: admin
then look for Wireless set up: change name
Then look for Wireless security: Choose WPA personal for encryption and secure your router putting a password

If you want to change the password to access the router you can open your browser and put in the address 192.168.1.1 (unless you changed it) and press enter. You should be prompted for a user name and password. Leave the user name section blank and put in the password for the router. Once you have logged into the router successfully, you will see the Administration tab. Click on it and you will be able to change the router password. Save the changed and close the browser window when you are finished.
If you need to change the Wireless Internet password, you can click on the Wireless tab, go to Wireless security and change the passphrase there too.
I hope this helped. Thanks for using FixYa.com!!

There's a small button on the back of the system. Use a pin/paperclip or something small to press the button. The length in time to hold the button down is different for every manufacturer, but about 10 seconds should do the trick.

On the back of the gateway is a button that you can press to reset the settings to the factory defaults. It is inside a pen hole to prevent it from being pushed during normal operations. Push and hold for 10 seconds. Don't forget to change the settings to prevent it from being accessed from malicious users local and remote.
