After all of the food I consumed over the weekend I had this same problem. On the back of the router hold the reset button and it'll go back to the factory defaults. You'll be able to change your password after this.

you can’t change your password, because you don’t have that authority….

just contact wi-fi customer care office… they ll enquire your proof…

after they ll provide new password….

Question #2 - I received your answer, thank you very much, but how do I change at my router? Can you send me the “step-by-step” directions? I have a Westell router: Here is the info on the back.

Model #- D90-0327W14-06

well the 1st thing is you will be required to know what is your router password. I can roughly guide you thru but the rest you will be required to fill in yourself

1. Fireup IE
2. Type in the router password on the address. for example http(s)://192.1.1.1
3. Press enter
4. Look for wireless connection.
5. Look for the password that has been put there.
6. If you want to continue to use that password, then note it down, if not just change the password.
7. Save if you change the password
8. You might or might not be required to restart the router.

Hope that helps

And to answer the question that usually follows this action a few minutes later… “what’s the default password for my router?” it’s pretty easy to find through a Google search by manufacturer. Sites like routerpasswords.com provide lookups for most models.
