Belkin router password

Hey guy, how do I change the password on my router if I've forgotton it?

I set it up months and months ago and never thought to note it down. I was wondering if there was anyway to put it onto factory settings? by connecting the ethernet cable between certain ports on the back of the router?

Cheers
Sean

  • there will be a little hole in the back of the router. Read the manual on the factory reset process but it will involve pressing that down for a certain length of time
