Default Passwords. we have just a small network set up and it is asking me for a passwork to connect to the server. I have never set up a password and was wondering if there was some kind of default password to put in there.

If you want to know how to recover the passwords of Huawei's switches in the case of initial passwords, forgotten passwords, etc., you can refer to this document, which is really useful.

Do you connect your PC to router in an administrator role using web browser? Or do you connect some device to Wi-Fi network?

1. Administrator role: You need to have correct login name and password for admin access. Search in manual or ask Google for default login name and password of your router type. If non-default password is set in the router then you must reset router setting and erase its settings to default (factory) status. You will lose all router configuration but default password is back.
   
2. Wi-Fi client role: There are more possibilities why authentication fails in wireless communication. Mentioned error message describes what kind of problem occurred.
   (a) A password you put to client device does not match the wireless network password which is set in router. Your computer, tablet or smartphone WI-Fi interface must have exactly same password as WI-Fi network which is transmitted from router. Check and compare passwords on both sides, in client device and in router.
   (b) Client Wi-Fi interface security (encryption) mode differs from Wi-Fi network encryption used in router. But the same mode must be set on both sides (client and router) for successful connection.

Encryption modes are

• WPA2 Enterpise
• WPA2 PSK ("home")
• WPA Enterprise
• WPA PSK
• WEP
• No encryption (open)

Higher position - better security. Enterprise Wi-Fi modes require security devices like authentication servers, certification authorities etc. They are not used in home networks usually.

Hi Pauline,

Try different using a different DNS address. OpenDNS provides free, fast servers that are used by millions. Here's how to do it with and without a router in your set up:

WITHOUT A ROUTER:

Mac OS X

1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Network.
3. Select the first connection in your list and click Advanced.
4. Select the DNS tab and add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 to the list of DNS servers.
5. Click OK

Windows 7

1. Click the Start Orb, then select Control Panel.
2. Click on Network and Sharing Center.

7. Click OK

Windows Vista

1. Click the Start Orb, then select Control Panel.
2. Click on View network status and tasks.
3. Click on View status.
4. Click the Properties button.

WITH A ROUTER:

Generic Router

1. Open the preferences for your router. Often, the preferences are set in your web browser, via a URL with numbers (example: http://192.168.0.1). You may need a password.
   If you're like us, and you set the router password long ago and cannot remember it now, you can often reset the password to the manufacturer default by pressing a button on the router itself.
   Or preferences may be set via specific application for your router, which you installed on your computer when you added the router.
   
2. Find the DNS server settings.
   Scan for the letters DNS next to a field which allows two or three sets of numbers, each broken into four groups of one to three numbers.
3. Put in the OpenDNS server addresses, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, as your DNS server settings and save/apply.

Linksys Router

1. Visit the router's IP address in a new browser window.
   http://192.168.1.1 is the default Linksys router IP address.
2. Enter the Network password.
   The "Enter Network Password" window will appear. Skip user name and type the router's password (admin is the default password, if you haven't changed it) and click the OK button.
3. Type in OpenDNS addresses, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220, in Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2 fields.
4. Click Save Settings button.

Netgear Router

1. Type the router's setup URL (http://www.routerlogin.net, http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1) into a web browser address bar.
   http://192.168.1.1 is the default Netgear router IP address.
2. Enter the password.
3. Type in OpenDNS addresses, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, in Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields.
4. Click Apply button.
5. Wait for the settings to be updated.

D-Link Router

1. Visit the router's IP address (http://192.168.0.1) in a new browser window.
   If you are attempting to configure a D-Link router, take note of your computer's Default Gateway IP address. The Default Gateway is the IP address of the D-Link router. By default, it should be 192.168.0.1. Most D-Link devices use the 192.168.0.X range.
2. Enter the router password.
   Note: if you have not changed the original settings, the default username is admin and the password is blank (nothing).
3. Click on the Manual Internet Connection Setup button at the bottom.
4. Enter the OpenDNS addresses, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, in Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server fields.
5. Click Save Settings button at the top.

Try to follow the detail below.

couple of ways. You can reset your router, then it will default to factory settings and then it will delete your password and open itself up to not needing a password to get on your network. However, anyone can connect to your network, so you will have to enter into your networks menus and reset a password to prevent this, then set that password on all of the computers on the network now. You generally access your set up menu by typing your server IP address into your browser address bar, which is ususlly http://192.168.1.1

This is not all conclusive as some routers have other access methods, but the majority use the above. It will also require a User and a password and the default is usually admin and password or password1 for the default. If however, you have set a password then you definitely have to reset.

Reset is usually a small button , some recessed in a small hole that requires a tooth pick or un-bent paper clip to push into the hole and hold for 15 seconds with the power on the router. Sometimes turning the power off of the router for 2-5 minutes will cause it to reset.

You can also force the laptop(or any client of that server) that you are using and is connected to the internet to give you the english translation of the password. Click on your WiFi icon down in the right corner, A window opens,right click on the name of your network that is connected, click on properties, click on "show charcters." The network key(your password) will be revealed

Please check that you are on the same sub net and that your network setting correspond to those required by the server including matching access passwords etc.

there usually is a small recessed reset button on the back if you press and hold this for 5 secs while unplugged the router will revert to factory settings. (including clearing passwords)

you can then use the default connection details, which are usually published in the quick setup guide
this info may be replicated on the manufacturer's website
