the defaults are
login: admin
password: password
If someone owned it prior or it was a returned product, someone might have changed them already. If this is so, try factory resetting it (push and hold reset for 7-10 seconds while powered up)
here's your support site with manuals, firmware, and install guides. It should have the option to login to the router manually and not using the app if you'd like to try that.
