forgotten router log in

I need to log in to the router to find out the username and password in the settings that are needed to connect to the internet. I want to use a new router so I need that information but I can't remember the router log in.

Is there anyway I can log into the router without deleting all the settings (which is the whole point for me to log in).

    yeah i suppose, would rather not though. It's AOL and I know the username is (phone number) @ ?
    can't remember password either.

    IIRC The default login name provided by AOL is "Customer's Phone [EMAIL="Number@dialbb.com"]Number @dialbb.com[/EMAIL]" and the default password is "aol123"
  • What's the make and model of router? It's usually something like admin for username and password for the pass

    It certainly is but if it is a router supplied by AOL, the format is always as above 'number@.....'
