408604	2005-11-29 09:49:00	Hi, For some reason, I can't access the web manager for the settings of my RTA770 ADSL Router/Modem. The configuration page is accessed at 192.168.1.2, but when I type in the default user name and password, it won't accept it. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't changed either of them. Anyone know what is going on, and how I can fix it? Cheers Lizard	Lizard (2409)

The following from the manual explains how to reset the router: Reset Router To make effect the settings that you set for this router, please open the Reset Router web page and click the Reboot button to invoke all settings. Not much help, really, as the web page with the reboot button is inside the configuration pages that I can't access. Any other ideas? Cheers Lizard	Lizard (2409)

Is it my understanding that outsiders can scan ports and login to other people's routers that still have the default username and password then have fun playing around on that computer. I believe they are also able to change the default username and password so if this is the case that may be what has happened to you. Can anyone confirm whether that is true or not? The computer's firewall wouldn't be much help in preventing that would it?	FoxyMX (5)

The computer's firewall wouldn't be much help in preventing that would it?Yes that can happen if the router was set up to allow remote webadmin access to the router, and was left with the default username and password in place . By default, I don't think most routers would have that remote access option turned on . Once you gain access to that router as admin, you can do what you like with the settings . A computers firewall will do nothing as the remote snooper only goes as far as the router, therefore will not be detected .	Jen (38)

Cheers Lizard As KiwiBJ has said, its normally a matchsitck/nail/paperclip sized hole at the back of the router whith a little switch in there . BTW Kiwi, what does BJ signify, or would you rather not say :rolleyes:	Murray P (44)
408612	2005-11-30 05:49:00	I've just downloaded your RTA770 manual and the rear panel view shows the reset hole. It is a small hole to the left of the power connector. Get a paperclip and poke it firmly into the hole for about 10 secs and then release it. Are you sure your router's IP is 192.168.1.2 because the manual states the default gateway is 192.168.1.1.
