Re: belkin router password?
If you briefly press the reset button it will reset the router but not restore the factory settings or reset the password to default. You need to press & hold it for at least 10 seconds to do that...
There's usually a reset button on the back, but I don't know if this resets your username and password.
That is correct. Just looked at the manual ( http://web.belkin.com/support/downlo...p?file_id=1818 ) and it does say that if you forget the password hold in the reset button for at least 5 seconds and that will return the router to the factory defaults
