Change default password

Windows 7, router WRT54G2.  How can I change the default Linksys password "admin" to anything of my choice?  I seem to not have the installation CD.  Router works well, but it still has the original password.

Thank you

Frank

Just follow the steps on the jlbjlb link provided: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3976. It contains all the steps that will guide you on how to change the password to something else. After changing the password and that you save the settings, it will ask you to re-login to the page. Just type the new password and you should be able to re-acess the router page.

  • ENVY 5540 All - In - One Printer: how to change the password want TO 5540 WIFI Direct from HP default to a different password?

    I try the functions on my new 5540 ENVY. Everything is set up and working correctly so far. I just printed a document from my iPad using the WIFI Direct function on the printer successfully. However, the default password on the printer for the WIFI Direct is simply "12345678". Surely, it should be replaced by a more secure password. My friend something printed its iPad - so obviously, this password is not exclusive to me, anyone can print stuff on my printer just for fun and I have a lot of students around me, the problem could become expensive for me and very boring. WIFI Direct signal covers a distance. I contacted HP telephone support, but the process is time consuming and I had to hang up because I had to work. Maybe someone here could give me instructions, and I can change the password when I have free time. I use wifi for internet (cable ethernet only) and the printer connected via USB to the computer. Also, when I turn on my computer (BUT NOT THE ROUTER) on the wireless function, the printer is and what I need to do is enter "12345678" and start printing. There is no guarantee either. Can someone tell me how to change the password for WIFI Direct 5540 envy? Thank you.

    I'm sure that you can change the EWS web page for your printer.

  • DPM appearing is not on DMM after changing the default password (5.2)

    I had to reset my DMP 4305 G to the default settings after the DMP redeployment to a new location.

    I have a static IP assigned to the DPM, but he wouldn't let me not get pass the login screen without changing the password.

    Once I changed the password, the DMP is no longer present on the DMM as connected, and I can't push orders to him.

    Hello

    Try this:

    Go to digital signs, settings, server settings and change the user name and password to match the new.

    Note that this will effect DMP all so be sure that you have the same login on all DMP information.

  • Default password for the root has not been changed... but there.

    I have a problem with a server ESXi in VCenter which reported that following:

    Configuration problems

    The default password for the root user has not changed.

    However, on the server, we changed the default password to our standard from the console. Is there something that needs to be done to update VCenter to check or something? It marks the host as a warning so it is certainly misleading people.


    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums!

    If the ESXi host is empty, a reboot will probably clear the message.  In addition, to restart the management agents would probably erase as well.

YOUR HELP WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!

    Open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The default username is admin and the default password is the password if you have not changed it. On the router configuration page, select 'Wireless Settings' in the left column. You can set up a new SSID, security type, and password here. If you have changed the default user name and the password to the router configuration page, use the reset button on the back of the router to reset to the factory settings and proceed as above.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

  • where can I change the password for free wifi on Acer 10th switch

    I use a public wifi who changes his password every month. I connected it with my Acer Switch 10 E for the first time last month (a week ago) and I was asked for the password. Now, it's a new month and I am not prompted for the password and I can't find a place to change the stored password. I can still access my own wifi and wifi to work who have correct stored passwords.

    I tried to select options wifi and it allows not sharing and sharing. When I'm in the range of wifi and run diagnostics it either tells me that the computer cannot detect the network hardware - that can't be true because I can connect at home - or the wifi connection is set to manual, which is not the issue because if it is set to manual or automatic He asks me the password.

    If I select the show the network connections and the State in the internetb Control Panel, I see the wifi connection but it doesn't have a name, when I right click on the wifi connection, it does not give me a Connections tab where I could change the password. If I select Change card options it is the same story. Other people around me are connected so I know that's not the router. If I try to add a new connection it tells me it cannot detect network hardware.

    I should be able to make the details screen connection display and change the password, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but again, this access to the security for any unconnected network tab is precisely what I was not able to do. The problem is: when not connected, no wifi connection appear in the list of wifi-State; only an icon for the device software. If I right click on that window opebned upward has shown me the properties of the driver etc., not on the network. He had no security, and no properties 'Wireless' don't link.  10 Windows, you need to get separately to the networks are not connected. Now, I found the item "manage known networks." It was much further down the page than I expected from images that I had seen, that showed above the element change adapter settings. Then I was able to forget the network and he asked me for a password. Just deselect "automatically connect" does not ask me the password. Connect automatically seems to be defined as a sort of default.

    Thanks anyway.

  • Computer locked out, says incorrect password, has not changed the password.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: computer locked out, says incorrect password, haven't changed the password.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    These things don't happen by themselves. Once you're in the system, do a thorough analysis of the malware.

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • WAG160N, cannot change admin password.

    Hello

    I recently bought a WAG160N and I have a big problem with it, I can't change the password for the default Administrator account.

    All I get is this error in the browser "Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)"

    I did a search here and on google and tried the following things on a computer connected to the router.

    1. Discount to zero fast.
    2. Power cable disconnect for 60 s.
    3. Factory reset followed to a reset of the router for 60 s.
    4. Delete my cookies of browsers and internet temporary files.

    Things I've changed is the basic configuration to connect to my ISP and the wireless settings.

    Information on clients, versions of firmware etc.

    This is because it is sometimes cached in your browser or Cookies and how your Internet connection is trying to load the Page, it is simply a Bug in the browser Google Chrome and probably will be fixed on a new version of the browser.

    Fix this bug in browser, it's easy because it's because of 3 different things.

    * The first thing to try is go into Options and clicking Reset to default values and refresh the Page or F5 shortcut key to refresh the page you are on Google Chrome.

    * The second error 324 is to simply just restart your Chrome browser.

    * Sometimes, it can be your Internet connection, the cause of error when browsing websites in chrome so just restart your Internet connection.

    I hope this helps you solve this problem.

  • Setup: default password (admin) does not work

    Hello

    I have reset my linksys wap54G and tried to run the Setup Wizard again.

    However, if I type the default password it says:

    "Access violation at address 004864BB in module 'Setup.exe'. Read of address FFFFFE1C. »

    I thought that, maybe an error on the disk, so I downloaded the firmware. Still the same message.

    What could be the reason?

    And more importantly, what could be a solution?

    Thank you very much!

    Connect a computer wired to the wap and assign a static IP address on the computer.

    Right-click on the connection to the Local network and click Properties, select TCP/IP and click on properties - check use the IP address 192.168.1.10 subnet mask according to 255.255.255.0, and then click ok.

    Now, you can access the configuration of wap with 192.168.1.240 page and you can make the necessary changes.

  • How can I change my password for wireless?

    Change of password

    I'll put up my wireless after two years, and I don't remember the password for the other members of my family to use the wireless.

    Anyone know how to change, or the contact person to change?

    Where, exactly, is this required password?  Whether to connect to a wireless router, see the manual of the router (or manufacturer) for access and the router password reset procedures.  If nothing else works, every router I've seen has a reset switch that can be used to restore the router to the factory settings by default, where you can reconfigure and set new passwords.

  • What is the default password for the new user accounts?

    I added a new administrator to my computer and changed the old standard user account, but now he asks me a password for administrator to manage accounts and I have not set up a password for the administrator. Y at - it an I can use it because I don't have the CD to reset to the default password?

    There is no default password; If you set one, it is empty.  Simply press when he asked.
