Cannot Enter Passcode into 192.168.1.1

Everytime I go to enter the password 1 character becomes 3 characters (hidden of course!)  I tried a desktop and a tablet and even switched to a wireless device.  I entered this site approximately 2 weeks ago without any problems.  I used a technical guy who tried as well and had the same issue with the password and he gave up.

If you're trying to sign into the Verizon router, this is a security feature. Try typing in the password but just don't look at the screen while typing. It's putting the extra characters there by design. As long as you're typing the correct password, you'll get in just fine.

Thanks CJ, I tried that and it did not work.  The issue I was trying to get into was seeing who is logged into my router.  We have had a few strange things lately.  Several weeks ago I logged in this way and had no problem.  Today, it is a no go.  I have a new router on the way that is said to be more secure, so I wil reset everything then .  I will keep trying to get in.

The password for the administrator web page is different from the WiFi password.  The default admin password should be printed on the router's label, depending on the age of the router.

Of course, if you've changed the admin password it won't match what is on the label.  If you've forgotten the password you can always perform a factory reset and it will go back to the default password (on the label).  This will also reset all other settings including the WiFi password.

Good Luck.

Got in!  I had changed the Admin password which was different from the security word.  Thank you!
