why do you think you're getting hacked? \

details help more than "I'm getting hacked" 

whats going on, why do you think so, and what is your network setup?

First time it was hack wifi password was changed and router password was also changed by someone else. And the second time was today. My router got reseted to default and it wasn't me. The setup for the router is wpa2amd wpa3 personal. Let me know what other settings you like to know

Do you live with someone else? 

1. I've seen devices set back to defaults on occasions. it doesn't mena you were hacked. 

2. how did the other person change the login info and password? Did you have it set on the defaults? Or know them?

I never share my logins with no one and live by my selft. 
This would be the second time that the router self reset if it wasn't hack. Not fun to connect all my devices back

Make a backup configuration so if it happens again you can just restore it.

That's a good idea thank you. 
I'm trying to see if there's any good settings for the router so this won't happen again. To bad a can't put my VPN settings in the router.
