You can accsess the router config menu by using your browser. Type in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into your browser. That will bring the screen up to enter your user name and password. If you have not changed it the default is username:blank(no entry) and password is:"admin". If you have forgotten this password then you will need to use a pen to push and hold the reset button for more than 4 seconds to re-set the password to the default(this will clear all the router settings to factory default and disable WEP/WPA settings). Once in the router config menu you can then look at/change the WEP or WPA security key that every computer needs to connect to the router.

Have a linksys router trying to connect need default password or cisco password

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.

I reset router to factory now how do i set up a password so people cant use my wireless internet

Logon to the router as described in the instructions.
Go to the wireless security section and select WPA-2 encryption/security.
Set a strong password. The stronger the password the more secure you WiFi network will be.
This will help you make a strong password: http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/
Your wifi devices should remember the password so you should only have to enter it once for each device.

Can't remember my password for the linksys

If you can't remember the password for your router. You may need to reset the device to factory default so the password could be set to default as well. Look at the back of the router, there should be a little hole with the word reset, use a paper clip and press and hold that for 15 seconds while the router is on or off.

I've forgotten my password

DOH! Sorry to hear that! Unless you can remember it, you'll need to reset your router to the factory defaults, which will unlock your password. Your router should have a tiny button on it you'd typically use a ball point pen to depress, which resets it to factory defaults.

Some routers, like linksys, don't have an actual user name so be sure you're leaving that blank. If it is a linksys, the default username is blank, and the password is admin. You'll want to change that quickly and I recommend writing your password in sharpie under your router if you're the forgetful type.
