What brand and model is your default gateway?  I can double check your default username and password and if that still doesn't work then you will need to reset your device.

Sounds like someone changed it from the default. You will need to do a reset on it to put it back to the default password.

On linksys the default is either a blank username and admin for password.
Or admin for both user name and password.

Reset button on the back, you will need a pen to hit it :-)

Slayer, I don't know if you got the user name and password reset but in case you didn't then let us know if you have a 3rd party firmware on that router (like Tomato or dd-wrt).  That particular router comes with Linksys firmware but you can throw just about anything on there.    :smiley:
