More likely it factory reset for some reason. Maybe the firmware updated or a power surge triggered it.
Should just be able to run back through setup and be fine.
a backup might be nice for next time (if there is one)

That is usually the the default "out of the box" SSID.
As @plemans says, if the thing spontaneously resets itself it will revert to that SSID.
A reset will also revert to the original wifi password and the router password for the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
