Depending on the router, it "may" be on a label on the router.0

Plug an ethernet cable in the router and your laptop.
Run 'cmd', then 'ipconfig' on the laprop and check the gateway ip address
Put the gateway ip address into Internet Explorer address bar
See if you can guess the user pass: admin/password usually or find a list of defaults for the router online.
Change the key in settings.

on your router you probably can find something like :
admin: 192.168.0.1 or admin: 192.168.1.1
login : *****
try to type it in your browser and log it in with thse settings first.do not forget to connect ethernet cable. if there are still default settings, then you might be able to check pass...or simply reset your router and job done:]0
