You connect to the console port with the typical 9600/8/N/1 settings.\n\n-Power cycle it.\n-Type in a blank password.\n-Type 'enable'\n-Type in a blank password again.\n-Use the 'set password' command to set a new password\n-Use a blank password as the old password now.\nYou have 30 seconds to do this or you have to try again.\n-After that, you use the 'set password' and 'set enablepass' to set your new password.

If it's a Linksys or similar, hold the reset button for at least one minute.  If that doesn't work, unplug it for one minute, plug it back in, then hold the reset button for 2 minutes.

you need to call guy who sold it to you, and get the password from him.then after that you can open and I'd change it to your own.

I would recommend going to Barnes & Nobles, or some other bookstore that also sells tutorial stuff. I am sure they have VB, just like they have Cisco training as well.

you can try few passwords such as ...\n\nadmin, administrator, password, enter ,mon...sunday, january... december .!!\n\njust communicate with the person from whom you purchased the computer .. and by the way u can't open the computer in safe mode without knowing the password.

Few things to look for:\n\n1. Do you have cable or dsl or dial connection?\n2. Earlier when you did not have the router, were you entering the login/password to connect to internet? If so, you have to configure your cable/dsl modem to host the login/password. For SBC DSL modem you can do it by http://192.168.1.0/ and there is a option available in "advanced configuration" to do that.\n3. Did you connect the ethernet cable from the cable/dsl modem to the \n    WAN port of the router?\n4. Are you getting the Dynamic IP assigned by the router? Check it by Start->Run->Cmd->ipconfig. It should show you some IP address like 192.168.1.x.\n5. Run the following command in the command window (start->Run->cmd)\n       ping www.yahoo.com\n\nHope this helps.

durung your startup, when the screen changes from the bios/post screens repeatedly hit F8 - this should bring you into safe mode. Without a password, or password breaker, there is no real way in through the GUI.\nyour only hope would be to either try the safe mode option or just command prompt, and if you're old enough like i am, you can use DOS to route around, but any security placed on the files will remain even in dos mode, if the HDD is NTFS

depending on the router it's usually one of the following:\n\nusername: [leave blank]\npassword: admin\n\nusername: root\npassword: admin\n\nusername: root\npassword: [leave blank]\n\nIf it's none of these and you have changed the password yourself you can reset the router to it's factory condition by pressing the little button on the back of the router somewhere (you will need a pen or something to dig it in)

You can get into it and unlock the accoutn and blank out the password for access by using a a program like this:\nhttp://ebcd.pcministry.com/\nYou will need a program to burn an .iso file to make a boot cd.\nThis one is very small and has good instructions:\nhttp://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Hi,\n\nI think you are a dead duck!\nAnyways, you can try guest account to get data (only if you saved the data in any other folder except My Documents and the rest)\n\nYou can also try to boot your PC with another operating system such as Windows 98 bootable (works only if you have FAT32 partition)\n\nIf you have a PC that can be used to write CDs I strongly recommend that you download the ISO image file I have referred to in sources section.\n\nAll the information on how to reset the Admin password is given in the documentation. But I will brief you here.\n\nJust download this file. Extract it using WINZIP. Write the ISO Image on to a CD. Do not drag this file to CD. Choose write ISO image. Come to this PC, insert the CD and boot from CD. Follow the instruction as given in the website. \n\nYou can try Bart PE. Gives you an alternate entry in your PC. It is a Operating System that runs from the CD itself. Just go to the website and you will know what i am talking about.\n\nI am sure, you can recover all your data/reset the password.\n\nCheers!

Try the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.  It works for Win NT, 2000, XP.  It is a boot disk that will reset the password.  \n\nhttp://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd

Try restarting computer and tapping F5 continually as it reboots to go into Safe Mode.\nFrom there try going in as Administrator, then Start, (settings), Control Panel, Users.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nPS Otherwise don't mess with it if it is not your computer.  There is a probably a reason for a good secure password. hahahahahah ha ha haha

I have yet another bridge in San Francisco to sell ANY BUYERS?? Maybe I'm wrong (doubt it) but I have been here for some time and I read your question as, " I'm trying to access someone elses network and I can figure out how to do it, can anyone help me hack it?" \n\nIf I'm wrong I'm really.......ahhh nevermind!!\n\nIf you are legit, just hit the reset button on the back of the router and run the wizard again...that shouldn't take you but a few minutes and you will be up and running again!

go to dell.com support and look for support on your particular laptop, and you will find how to enter the bios and change or delete it, if it is boot password, to start the laptop, you will have to call dell and see if they will help you unlock it, it is a theft deterrent

Other than "brute force" methods (keep guessing until you guess right), there are few options for getting around the login password.\n\nA friend used a bootable Linux disk with a Windows password wipe utility to remove the administrative password on an machine he needed to get access to.  It simply cleared the password, it did not reset it to something else.  Sorry, I didn't get it's name, and I've lost contact with him, but you may have some luck searching the web.
