    Installation Guide or User manual PDF file online. 

    Usually default is 'password'

        make sure about lower case. Its all lower case

        login: admin

        password: password

         

        all lower case. 

        If you changed it from the defaults, then you'd need to use the password recovery feature. 

        If you didn't set that up (it still asks the questions) or don't know the answers, then you'd need to factory reset to get back to the defaults.
