Router Hard Reset--SERIOUS PROBLEM----

98bballstar · May 15, 2013

Hi, i just hard reseted my cisco DPC3825 router. I wanted to port forward to play some games with friends, but i didnt know the username and password to login to the website thing with. Ive tried like every single default u/p combination. My plan was to change the u/p once ive reset it with the hard reset. Now to the problem...Since i HARD reset my router, my router name is now changed to 95d3ba, and my WPA password is completely different. I cannot enter into the network at ALL. I need help!!

Please and thanks, Will

The default key and username/password should be printed on the back of the router.

If not, Google the router model and you'll find a manual somewhere with these in it.

Or use ethernet. Changing settings on WAPs over WiFi is a bad idea - too easy to set it to a channel you can't access etc.

Thats one epic username, cheers.

Well it says the factory said is 95D3BA (what is it shows), and it shows "Pre-Shared Key" but idk what it is. Its the same as the s/n, the serial number. I can't find anything called default password. I also didn't chang pe the settings over WiFi, I held the hard reset button on back of router

PSK is a method of authentication - usually used with WPA/WPA2. Should be able to find the default password in the manual, but I'd set it up over ethernet.

Well if I can't get into the network because I don't know the WPA, how can I get into the Ethernet connection?

Ethernet doesn't use security - if the cable is connected, you are connected. You will need to know the password for the setup pages though.

OK, I plug the Ethernet into the laptop. I click on the network, and it says I need a pass code. I try to to the setup page, but it doesn't load

Can you get a screenshot of that page - I'm confused. Is this when you try to get to the router's IP (eg 192.168.1.1), or as soon as you plug in the ethernet cable.

98bballstar · May 15, 2013

When I plug in the Ethernet, and I go to my wireless networks to try to connect to my router, it asks for a password. Since I am not connected to internet, I cannot access 192.168.0.1

You don't need to connect to the wireless network - the ethernet replaces the wireless connection.

Also, you don't need to have internet access to get to the router - the break is between the router and your ISP.

Can't get on internet with Ethernet anyway...

Someone Somewhere · May 15, 2013

Read my previous post.

And yes, ethernet can be used to get to the internet. But the DSL/Cable link between your router and ISP is down because it needs the password that was sent in a letter from your ISP when you signed up.

How do you get that letter? As in physical letter, I have no clue where it is
