=> *black window comes up* type ipconfig and press enter
=> look for default gateway
=> go to start

Default for Linksys router is no username and admin as the password.

Then go to wireless

=> here you can change the WEP or WPA code or even see what it is currently.

If you can't get into your router, because of a bad password press and hold the reset button on the back of the router for 15 seconds. It will set it back to default. If it is a Linksys router the username and password is UserName = **blank** (nothing there) and Password = admin
