I have forgotten the admin password on my old linksys router that I want to install here. Any way to reset router to use a NEW PASSWORD?
Thanks,
Rick

Google "linksys router reset password" (without the quotes) - numerous links to procedures on how to do the reset.

You will find plenty of links on that topic at:

If you cannot sign in to reset the password, you can reset the router to the default settings that came with the router. On the back should be a small hole that you can insert the end of a paper clip into that will reset the router. Then you can sign in with admin / password (that is the password) and rebuild your router settings.

Extreme but it works.

I was trying to do the same thing for a friend a couple of weeks ago. It was difficult finding info about it on the internet that made sense. I did find one post that said to not put in a login name and type admin as the password. Hey, it's worth a try. Good luck.

Thanks for your info. Reset the router and rebuilt the settings
