I recently reset my laptop and now i cant get my wireless router to work as i think i typed in the wrong password.

The router works if i plug the laptop in

I dont remember what my pasword is

So how do i reset my router and give it a new password?

Not sure what you problem is Jim.

Is the router working?

If not, what do you mean by not working? Is it not connecting to the internet, or not connecting to your lappy?

What type of router is it?

You should be able to log in to the router (when connected by cable) and set a new wireless password.

To log in to your router, try typing 192.168.1.1 into the address bar on internet explorer.

It's 192.168.0.1 on a lot of routers too.

Its a Belkin router

the router still works but i need to reset the password to access it

i have entered the 2 addresses given and it sends me to a google page

if it is the router password

try

user : admin

password: password

run ipconfig from the command prompt (start > run > cmd on win xp, think it's similar on vista)

You'll get results like this:

type the default gateway address into your browser.

A bit of googling suggests default password for router access will be admin and no password or both of them blank.

I just bought a belkin last week - to access it the address is 192.168.2.1

The router may not have a password if you didn't set one up, so just click on submit.

All sorted guys thx

can you turn a normal router into a wireless 1 with any sort of attachement?

Wireless access point.
