About a year ago, someone on these forums showed me how to access my router's control panel to open up ports and such. Very helpful he was, but I've encountered a bit of a problem.
The standard password is "admin" without a username, but I must have changed it... and totally forgotten it! I have two or three user names and passwords that I use for everything, and no combination has worked. Is there any way to get into the router's control panel now, or am I just screwed?

There should be a reset button on the back of it.

Is this a Linksys router/firewall combo deail or something similar. The couple that I've had had some way to reset them back to the factory settings.
You can probably find docs at the manufacturers website.

Linksys DOES in fact have a reset button about the size of a pin head on the back of their routers. Once pressed, it will reset the factory defaults. One thing you may want to check is the fact that it MAY have already been pressed. I can't remember what the default password was, but you can get it on Linksys site.
