Enable admin Password Recovery

The router admin password is used to log in to your router web interface. We recommend
that you enable password recovery if you change the router admin password. Then you
can recover the password if it is forgotten. This recovery process is supported in Internet
Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers but not in the Safari browser.
To enable password recovery:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Administration > Set Password.
The Set Password page displays.
5. Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.
