You can usually do a power cycle and press a reset button to restore factory settings. Check your manual.

Then just remember your password next time!

You can't recover your forgotten password. You can only reset the router to its factory default setting by pressing the reset on the back. Instructions for resetting the router & the factory user name / password are located in the manual.

What kind of router do you have? If its linksys its 192.168.1.1 and the username is blank and the password is admin. For D-Link its 192.168.0.1 and the username is admin and password is empty. You can go there and reset your router or change your password

Send a message via AIM to originel
go to http://www.westell.com/pages/support/dropdown.jsp

You should be able to download the manual from there. It will tell you where the reset button is located.
