Most routers are accessed via http , if though you wish to access a PC/router which doesn't use http then open up an file EXPLORER window (not internet explorer) and use that instead as it's only IE/firefox/other browsers that automatically put the HTTP in from of the address.

Sounds though more likely that on the reset your router changed to it's default IP (would probably be something like 192.168.0.1/192.168.1.1/10.1.1.1/10.0.0.1 but varies from router to router best to check your router documentation) hence when you try the router address your routers not there anymore and it defaults to trying to find the address on a search engine. Also remember that if your router has reset to a default your PC IP will need to be within the subnet to access it.
