Forgot Username And Password

I set this router up about 2 years ago and never needed to go in and change anything.  I wrote the user name and password on a sticker and put it on the unit.  However that don't work.  By doing a hard resent, will that reset the U/N and PSWRD back to the default of "admin" for username and "password" for the pswrd?

Hi, yes, if you do a hard reset it will reset the user name and password.  However, you'll also lose any custom settings you've put in, and you'll have to reconfigure those settings after resetting.
