You don't have to reset the router. Instead, log into it with a wired (Ethernet) computer, which doesn't need the encryption key (not really a password). When you do, look for a page on Wireless Security or the like and you should be able to find the encryption key.



To log into your router, use its local IP address in your browser's address window. To find that IP address:



1. Click on the Start button.

2. Click Run...

3. In the text box, type in



cmd



and press Enter.



4. A black ';DOS box'; window will pop up. Type into it



ipconfig /all



and press Enter.



5. A bunch of seeming gibberish will fill the screen. In the section ';Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection,'; on the line next to ';Default Gateway'; your router's IP address should appear.

Depending on the model of router there is usually a little button on the back that you will need to press in for about 5 seconds and it clear the information. Just remember you may need the help of your internet provider to set soom settings on it. Also google your router brand to figure the default username and password. Usually they are just admin admin.
If you haven't changed any settings on your router, just do a search for *your router brand* default password.



If you changed the password and forgot it, most routers have a little button or hole that will reset them to factory settings. If it's a hole, stick in a pin or something small and hold down for 5 or 6 seconds. This should completely reset your router to like it was from the factory, so be sure you want to do this.
