Yes, that information should be in the manual... there is typically a small button that you'd have to use a pen, pencil, paper clip, etc to push as it's somewhat recessed to avoid accidentally resetting the modem. :-) You'll also need to know whatever login information you need for logging the router onto the cable/dsl network. I strongly urge you to get all that information together *before* you reset it to the factory defaults. Also, it would be good to know if your PCs are set up using DHCP to automatically get an IP address, gateway, etc or if that's hard-coded. If it's hard-coded, you'll need to know that information. You'll probably also need to know the DNS servers, etc for putting that information back into the router.

Actually, I guess I would be the IT dept <smile>, because I'm the webmaster for the web site of this non-profit organization. There are just two computers here in the office and they were setup and connected to the router about 3 or 4 years ago. Nothing was written down that I know of, as far as pw or id. I hope the person that I contact (who setup the router) can remember what they did! If I wanted to reset the router (linksys BEFSR81), as you suggest, would that procedure be in the router manual? I have the manual. Would I need to setup the 2 computers all over again, from scratch? I don't have any other ideas..
