Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Someone had to have recently changed the password on my router since a few months ago it didn't have one and I was not concerned about it, and now I can't access it.
first u have configure ur router which type of router ur using DSL router it have a ip address just read ur manuval its contain the instructions and type the ip address of router on internet explorer then u get the windows of router just check it and set administrative password and thoroughly check then u can find the option firewall and just enable it and also some router contain instruction detection just enable both of them then u just security no can hack u this is way of securing our router. 1st u contact with ur router supporting center then they will instruct u how to reset ur passord. i think if ur admin. password lost it cant recover only way to change the router . just talk with help desk support then after u get a idea and after u get router in normal way and configure like this
