Did you change the default password? If not, its password

If you did, its pretty easy to reset the device and set it up back up. It'll revert you to default login and password. Just hold the reset button for 7-10 seconds. You'll then need to go back through the setup procedure. Here's the support page for your device. it'll have the manual and firmware for your device.

What do you need the password for? To get into the wifi controls?

There is a manual for the XWN5001 somewhere at the end of this link:
