Reset to factory defaults, from what I've found, is the only way to
regain access to your
linksys BEFSR81
Good Luck

Well, I don't have an IT dept.. 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..
Thanks for your replies and help

You should definitely check with your IT department,
if such exists. If not,
see if you can locate the person who originally set
up the router. If all
else fails, you should be able to reset it back to
the factory specs,
including the default username and password.

Well.. I tried your suggestion. I used the address
that you suggested and sure enough, a login screen
appeared. I left the ID blank and used - admin - for
the password. it would not let me in. It told me
that
'401 Authorization Required' "This server could not
verify that you are authorized to access. Either you
supplied the wrong credentials(e.g., bad password),
or
your browser doesn't understand how to supply the
credentials required."
Since this is the office machine, it's entirely
possible that whomever set up the router, actually
created a password to get into the router config. If
that's not teh reason, what else could it be? This
has
become very interesting to me.
Thanks for your help

You can get to the router config page by using your
web >browser. Since
you probably have never gone to it before put
http://192.168.1.1 in the
browser and hit enter it will then ask you for a
user
name and
password,
leave the user name blank and just put admin in as
password. >This should get you into the router
config
main page. I have >never installed any of
the software that comes with cable modems or
routers
for home >use so im not sure if there is another way
to get to the >configuration page other
then pointing a web browser at the routers IP. Once
you are in >the config page go to applications and

page.. GOOD LUCK =)
