Recover the local device admin password

the local device password and set up password recovery. If three local login failures
occur, you can try to recover the password. This recovery process is supported in the
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari browsers.
To recover your local device password:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
