2. Enter www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.

If password recovery is enabled, you are prompted to enter the serial number of the modem. The serial
number is on the product label of the modem.
4. Enter the serial number of the modem.
5. Click the Continue button.
A page displays requesting the answers to your security questions.
6. Enter the saved answers to your security questions.

A page displays your recovered password.
8. Click the Login again button.

Return the Modem to Its Factory Default Settings

Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to the modem
settings or you move the modem to a different network), you might want to erase the configuration and reset
the modem to factory default settings.
If you do not know the current IP address of the modem, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect
the IP address before you reset the modem to factory default settings.
To reset the modem to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset button on the back of the
modem or the Erase function. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access
the modem, you must use the Reset button.
After you reset the modem to factory default settings, the user name is admin, the password is password,
the LAN IP address is 192.168.5.1 (which is the same as www.routerlogin.net), the DHCP server is enabled,
and the device mode is Router (Modem + Router). For a list of factory default settings, see
on page 105.
