To open your router’s admin panel, you enter a username and password on its login page. Below is a list of default credentials for widely used router brands and internet providers.
Tip: If the listed address does not open the settings page, your device may use a different IP. Common alternatives are 192.168.0.1, 10.0.0.1, and 192.168.1.254.
Type any of these addresses directly into your browser’s address bar. If none open, find your router’s default gateway on your computer or phone, then use that address.

Where Do I Find My Router Password?
If the defaults do not work, your router likely has a unique password. Providers and newer models set one at the factory. There are four reliable places to look before you reset anything.
Check these four places for your password.
- The sticker on the base of the router.
- The setup card or box it came in.
- Your provider’s app or account portal.
- The maker’s support page for your model.
What If admin and admin Do Not Work?
Different brands use different defaults, so try the exact pair from the table for your brand. If that also fails, the password was changed, or the label holds a unique code.
As a last resort, hold the reset button for ten to fifteen seconds. This restores the factory default password from the table, but it erases your Wi-Fi name and every custom setting.
Should I Change the Default Password?
Yes. A default password like admin is easy to guess and a common security risk. After your first login, set a strong, unique admin password and a separate strong Wi-Fi password.
Frequently Asked Questions: Router Credentials
What is the most common default router login?
The most common default is admin for both the username and the password. Some brands use password, blank, or a value printed on the router label.
How do I find my router’s password?
Look at the sticker on the router first. It often lists the admin password or the Wi-Fi key. Your provider’s app, the setup card, or the maker’s site are good backups.
What if the default password does not work?
Check the sticker on your router for custom credentials set by your provider. If it still fails, do a factory reset to restore the defaults.
Is admin and admin the password for every router?
No. It is the most common, but many brands differ. Netgear often uses admin and password, MikroTik uses a blank password, and providers set unique codes. Use the table for your brand.
Where is the password on the router?
It is printed on a label, usually on the base or back. Look for Password, Admin Password, or Wi-Fi Key. Some units also show it on a small screen or setup card.
Should I keep the default router password?
No. Change it right after your first login. Default passwords are public knowledge and let anyone nearby into your network. A strong, unique password keeps your router and devices safe.
