This may be a stupid question but, the serial number is below the bar code, right? and is the user name anything different?
Wish somebody would mark this thread as solved so people don't keep resurrecting every year or so.
And how exactly does this cause a problem for you?
My router had a Login Password listed on the sticker with all the router info. It was in the top left corner of the sticker with all the router info on it. After reset I had to use the Login Password printed on the router. Username: admin. Hope this helps.
I have the smae login issues with my Actiontec router. The only difference is that it is a Rev E. Can anyone help me log into the router? I want to make it a second access point and have found the steps to take if only I can login.
Default id/passwords on Actiontecs
The default id is "admin"
The default password on older models starts as "password" and used to be set by installers to "password1". At one point they started pushing out a password update to match the serial number, for those where password or password1 was detected, and the installers started doing the same during the installs.
Software on these during a reset (hold the recessed reset button on back for about 10 seconds) sets the password either back to "password" or sets no password but asks you on logon to set admin id and password.
Some later models with a software update started having the serial number used on a reset. The latest models have a password listed on the sticker. On a reset these should reset to that printed password.
Summary, particularly on a reset
If it asks you to, set a password.
If doesn't ask
If nothing seems to work definitely do a RESET. Installers occasionally mistype the password during install.
