So i haven't used this router in years and I am letting my son use it so he can have better connection down in his room BUT i do not remember the wifi password for it. Anything will help, Thank you!

If you don't know the login/password to the router and you didn't setup (or don't remember) the password recovery option, then you'd need to factory reset to get back in. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Then reinstall the device and write down your info for next time.

If you're looking for a better connection, an upgrade might be in order.
That's a rather old N300 device. Pretty base model even when it was released 12 years ago.
