forgot router login password

forgot my password to log in how do i got about recovering it?

  • Hello jfrentas

     

    The only way to recover it is do a factory reset on the device this will lose all settings you have set up. but after a factory reset the login goes back to admin and password for the credientals.

        I just got a new Samsung tablet & started setting it up.

        When it asked for the WiFi password that had been set up in 2010 I realized that I could not remember it.

        I have 2 laptops & a smart TV that is using the WiFi but can't proceed with my new tablet set up without connecting it to my WiFi network.

        Help, what can I do???
