<div>It should be pretty easy. On all routers there is a small button on the back labeled "reset". You should be able to press that using the tip of a pencil or pen which will reset the router. After that, use the computer that the router is connected to, open the browser, and in the URL field (the field where you type in the name of the web site you want to visit), type in the address of the router. It should be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2. Check the manual of the router for specific details.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Once the address goes through you should be presented with an array of menus and options to choose from. It's here that you can choose a new login and password, and even set a higher type of security (WPA2 vs. WEP). Again, the router manual will have more details.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Eric Buczynski</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><br><div><div>On Jan 31, 2008, at 11:58 AM, <a href="mailto:g4-request@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">g4-request@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">I Folks,</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">My son's wireless router was cracked a day or so ago, his username and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">password to the router were reset.
