You will have to perform hardware reset. Performing a hardware reset will return your device to factory default. You will loose any custom settings you have added. 

 Setup steps:

 

  1. Locate the reset hole on the router. The button will be on the back, side or bottom of the router. 
  2. Leave the router powered on.
  3. Use a paperclip (or similar) to press and hold in the reset button for 10 seconds.
  4. Remove the paperclip.
  5. Wait approximately one minute for the router to restart.  

The settings for the router have now been reset back to their default. You may log in to your router and change the password.
