Things You Should Know

• You’ll usually find the router’s admin and Wi-Fi passwords printed on a sticker on the bottom or back of the router.
• See Wi-Fi passwords on a PC: In Command Prompt, type netsh wlan show profiles to view networks, then type netsh wlan show profile name=EXAMPLE key=clear.
• See Wi-Fi passwords on a Mac: Open Keychain Access, search for and double-click the Wi-Fi network, then check the «Show Password» box.

   Check the sticker on your router. Most routers list the default username and password for the router on a sticker somewhere on the router itself. Unless you’ve changed your home router’s admin password, it’s likely still set to the manufacturer’s default.

   • You’ll also find the default Wi-Fi network name and password printed on the router. Both passwords may be listed on the same or separate stickers.

   Look up your router on a default router password website. Check out https://portforward.com/router-password for a comprehensive list of default admin passwords by manufacturer and model.^[1]
   

   • If you can’t find any information about your model at Portforward.com, Google your router’s manufacturer and model, and the words «default router password.»
   • If you got the router from your ISP, your provider may have set an alternative router password. Check the manual that came with your router, or any paperwork or conformation emails you received from your provider, for password info.

   See if you saved the router password in your web browser. If you have ever signed in to your router in the past, you may have saved the admin password in Safari or Chrome. Go to your router’s IP address in your web browser, and click the admin or password field to see if the password automatically appears.

   Reset your router if you can’t find the admin password. If you’re still not able to find your router’s password, you can reset the router to its original default settings. This will erase all settings, including any custom network names or passwords you’ve added, and restore them to the defaults.

   • Find the reset button on your router. It’s typically a tiny recessed button that you won’t be able to reach with your finger.
   • To reset the router, insert a small thin tool, like a straightened paperclip or SIM card tool, into the reset button. Continue pressing the button until the lights on your router turn off and then back on.
   • Once the router is reset, wait several minutes for it to come back online. Then, you’ll be able to log into the router’s admin website on your computer using the default admin username and password.

   Find your router’s IP address. If you need to log in to your router to make changes, including changing the Wi-Fi network name or password, you can find its IP address as long as you’re connected to the router. Here’s how you can find yours:

   • Windows: Open the Command Prompt, type ipconfig, and then press ↵ Enter. The address you need is next to «Default Gateway.»
   • Mac: Go to System Settings > Network > your network connection > Details. The address appears next to «Router.»

   • Use this method to find the password for the wireless network to which you’re currently connected.
