Port Help!!

[Red Cobra]

Does anyone know how to find out your username and password for your router becasue i have a firwall and i want to open up a port but i dont know what my username and password is!

There may be a default specified in your router's manual. That's if you never set it. If the default doesn't work reset the router. You'll have to put all internet settings back, but at lease you'll be able to log in.

Maybe you could ask your parents?

When i tried this, i found out that i didnt have a password, so i just logged on my router, and entered w/out putting in a password. Try that, but if you have to enter a username, try "admin"

If you gave the brand of your router, that would be helpful.

Linksys: Push reset button. Log in to router. Username: blank. Password: admin. Go to port forwarding and forward a port to your server's LAN IP. Also, make sure that you set a password other than 'admin' to make sure others don't change your firewall rules. Don't forget the password, either.

My parents thought they were smary for putting a password on my rougter...I reset it more then a year ago and they still dont know.

I wouldn't hit the reset, unless you get in deep doo-doo. Your ISP may not like that at all. Most of them say to call before you do.

My default is
user: user
password :admin
Don't even bother to reset it, once your in. There's no real reason to, unless it's on a public LAN.

You have been to portforward.com, right? I'll bet if you spend awhile poking around there, you'll find your answer.

Reseting your router has nothing to do with your modem. Besides, I always keep the same IP even while reseting that Ok, I asked them to do that for me.

But what makes you think that they'd get mad if you reset the modem?

[TD-Linux]

They say that just 'in case' the impossible happens and resetting something makes something not work. Then they would have to send a tech guy over to fix the problem. Too much work.

1veedo, what made your parents think that setting a password would help anything? A router/gateway/firewall won't prevent you from getting into stuff like BZFlag!

Wha? Why would the ISP care what you do with your own router? It's not like the mac address changes. And while you can't configure a router from the outside, if someone breaks into your system there's nothing to stop them from forwarding their commands through your own computer to the internal side of the router, right?
