Hi i have a computer and a laptop.
I have wireless internet using a router.
I cant get into the router because the password doesn't work and anyone can use my router if their within distance of it. I tried the reset button but the router automatically sets itself back up therefore i cannot get into the router settings to add security or change the password. I wiped my laptop because i thought there was information on it that is setting up the router automatically. i also tried to wipe my computer but its having non of it i have tried system restore deleting all programmes from add or remove programmes but still when i put the boot cd in turn the computer off, turn it back on it doesn't say "Press any key to boot from CD" i press keys any way but it just wont boot from cd i believe i have hackers or viruses that just wont be deleted without getting wiped a friend told me its probably hacker as he says wireless internet is really easy to hack and get into peoples files and computer systems without them having a clue its happening so i want to wipe both my computer and laptop again and reinstall the router and set up security on it.
I appreciate any help i can get
Thanks

1.) Hold the re-set button longer, as previously mentioned, on the router What make & model is it?
2.) On the PC or notebook not booting from CD, you may need to get into the BIOS and change the BOOT order and/or bootable devices. What makes & models?
3.) Most wireless routers require an Ethernet cable be connected to the router to configure it. You will need to know the "default" IP address and use a browser to access it.
4.) If you are serious about wiping your disk clean, then killdisk, as previously mentioned, is the way to go. You will need to be able to boot from a CD, although I think a bootable floppy option still exists.
