Factory reset the whatever device it is. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. that'll get you back to the defaults.
Then hardwire a pc/laptop into the modem/router (whatever). You can try accessing it that router.
the default login is: admin
default password: password
all lower case.
that'll get you into the gui through the browser. From there, if its a modem/router combo device, you could setup your wifi details.

Do you got a picture of the back of the device (and the device itself) so we can at least determine if its a modem or a modem/router combo device?
that'll tell us the proper address to access it with.
modem only: 192.168.100.1
modem/router: 192.168.1.1 (default) some are on 192.168.0.1 (depending on your isp)
