If the router's login password has been changed, the default password on the label will no longer work, and you will need the password you set yourself to log in.
If you changed the password a long time ago or modified it multiple times, it’s easy to forget or get confused, and you might not know the router's 192168 login password.
Here are some effective methods to quickly find the password and log in to the router admin panel:
1. Try Using Your Wi-Fi Password
Many users set the router login password the same as the Wi-Fi password for convenience.
Additionally, some brands (such as Xiaomi and Huawei) use the same password for both by default.
So if the password printed on your router's label doesn’t work, try entering your current Wi-Fi password—it might work.
2. Try the “Forgot Password?” Option
Many modern routers (especially those with mobile App for management) include a "Forgot Password?" option.
If you see this button on the login page, click it and follow the prompts to recover your password.
- Typically, there are two methods: recover via linked phone number or email;
- Verify and reset through the router brand’s official app.
This method can avoid resetting the device and won’t affect your Wi-Fi usage.

3. Restore Factory Settings (Final solution)
If none of the above methods work, the final solution is to restore factory settings.
Find the “Reset” or “WPS” button on the back or bottom of the router. Use a toothpick or pin to hold it for 5–10 seconds until all indicator lights flash.
After the router restarts automatically, it will return to factory default settings, and the login password will revert to the default password.
You can then create a new user login password and configure your router for internet access just like the first time you logged into the 192168 router admin panel.
