Remembering my WRT54G default password and user ID can be difficult if I ever needed to reset my router. I have received a few e-mails regarding the default user ID and password for different routers. Most people that ask for this information usually have reset their router back to the factory default, but can’t seem to find the instructions to the router.
I have decided to begin compiling a list of default user IDs and passwords for various routers. This is by no means a complete list, but I will add to it as time goes by.
The following sections provided the default user ID and password for different routers. For the values that are listed as (blank), simply leave that field empty.
Linksys Router Default User IDs and Passwords
Model | User ID | Password |
---|---|---|
BEFSR41 | admin | admin |
BEFW11S4 | (blank) | admin |
WAG54G | admin | admin |
WAP54G | (blank) | admin |
WET11 | (blank) | admin |
WET54G | (blank) | admin |
WRT54G | (blank) | admin |
WRT54GS | (blank) | admin |
WRT54GL | (blank) | admin |
D-Link Router Default User IDs and Passwords
Model | User ID | Password |
---|---|---|
DI Models (eg. DI-524) | admin | (blank) |
DIR Models (eg. DIR-625) | admin | (blank) |
It is important that you change these values in your router configuration to secure your router. Never leave these values as the default. I can now use this post if I needed to lookup my WRT54G default password and user ID.
If you have a router that you would like added to the above lists, then send me an e-mail or leave a comment and I will add it. The router can be from any manufacturer, not just Linksys or D-Link.
