Nighthawk m2100 - forgot admin password
Hi, i cant login to admin, i cant remember changing my password and when i use the original password it wont let me in, so i muxt have changed it. how do i reset the password to gain access to the admin functions, in partlucilar data offloading
i can use the data sim and access the internet with no issues, but want to access a local wifi system to use their data.
I believe the only way to do this is a factory reset which will remove all your setting and go back to original settings which will allow you to put in a new admin password. All settings will be lost. Take the battery cover off and locate the reset hole below the battery. It is marked. Put a paper clip or similar in the hole and push lightly for 30 seconds. The factory reset will take about one minute. Good luck.
