Yes. It is possible to reset it.

But you need to access the Router's control panel to do so. To check the administration page, you need to know the IP of the gateway or the router. If you are using windows, click Start > RUN > type CMD and then press Enter.

On the command prompt, type ipconfig /all and then press Enter. You need to locate the Gateway IP address. Get the IP address, open up a browser and then type:

http://gatewayiphere

Sample:

http://192.168.0.1

It will ask for a username and password. You can try admin/admin or consult the router's manual for the default admin password. (If logged in, change the password to something more secure.)

Browse to the wireless settings page and you should see where to set the pass keys etc.

Yes, if you straighten one end of a Norwegian paper-clip, and insert it in the small hole in the back of the router. This will "reset" the router to the "factory" settings. Then, you can login to the router, with the factory-default credentials, and you should set a new password.

Take a gummed label, and write the new password onto the label, and stick the label onto the router, so that you (and any other people in your home who can physically view the router) don't forget the new password.
