Unless you set one up, you will need to reset as I previously answered.

You might want to try the admin password: leave the user name blank, and enter the password "admin"

You could do a factory reset. This way, the unit will revert to the default username and password. You'll need to reconfigure all the settings though.

Check the quality of your internet, you can try continous ping command on a ip e.g:
open run: type cmd and hit enter
type: ping google.com -t

it should give reply....
check how many timed outs, that means droped packets,
could be internet issue,
If not check that you are not moving to far away from router range.

If a password was set by user, no one else will know it if you forget it.
If the password needs to be reset to factory, so you can log in with the "default" password AND RE-SETUP EVERYTHING, then you'll need to reset the Linksys E2500 to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.
The E2500 manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the E2500 from http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E2500

Start to change:

1-Charger / Cable then;
2-Test; no luck?
3-Device is dead

You need to check if your patch cable is working fine so change your patch cable and then try connecting again.

By default, the router has a SSID ID of 'linksys', with *NO* security, and *NO* password. Configure the router to enable security, and to set the SSID and to set a password.

access the ipadd of your linksys then thats the time you can change your password. if you dont know the password then its time you reset your router and reconfigure it again.
