Then enter admin as the default username and admin as the default password (the password is case sensitive).
If the EA4500 Default Password Doesn’t Work
A default password fails because someone changed it. Changing a password to something more secure (especially when it’s really simple, such as admin) is important for the security of your network. If the default Linksys EA4500 password doesn’t work, reset the router to its factory defaults:
Log in to the Router
Now that the N900 router is reset, log in to it from a web browser: After the router is reset, any customizations you made are deleted. This includes the wireless network password, SSID (service set identifier), and DNS (domain name system) server settings. Re-enter that information to get the router back to how it was before the reset.
What to Do When You Can’t Access the EA4500 Router
If you can’t get to the EA4500 router through the 192.168.1.1 IP address, it likely was changed to something else after it was first set up. The router doesn’t need to be reset to get the IP address (but if you did already reset it, the default address should work). Instead, find out the default gateway that a computer connected to the router is using.
