Linksys Wired Router :: Rv042 - Set Password Without Resetting To Factory Default?
Apr 3, 2012
Last year our Network Security Supervisor submit his resignation and unfortunately did not endorse us the admin password we already tried the password he suggested when we contacted him but nothing of them works. Is there anyway we can reset the password without resetting to factory default?
I have a WRT54G router Ver. 5 with firmware v. 1.02.5. This is the second time this has happened to me but the router reset itself to the factory defaults. I lost all my configurations. I'm saving the configuration this time but it will be annoying to keep having to reconfigure the router.
I've been using Linksys for years but the last two routers I have purchased have been very problematic.
- My router hasn't had this problem before. The other day I was downloading 4 games at a time from STEAM, when I got home from work I found that my router had completely gone back to factory settings. So I configured my DSL PPPoE, SSID, Wireless Security (WPA) changed the default admin PW and about 20 minutes later it was back to factory again.
I've done a "hard" reset and reconfigured and still it resets itself. What's also upsetting is this completely opens my network up to ANYONE when this happens...
So far in the past 2 days I have (now using a backup restore file) re-configured the device 10 times.
The only thing I can think of is that I just got Windows 7 the same day this started happening. I thought it could be STEAM as well so right now I have STEAM closed to see if it resets while it isn't running.
Could TOO much demand on the router cause it to completely reset itself to factory config?? Seems to me like there's a huge firmware or hardware problem here.
I have other friends and even co-workers that also have problems galore with their Linksys products...No other router it seems has as MANY issues as Linksys. Hat to say it but my next purchase most likely will not be another one of their products. This just shouldn't be happening.
I'm having a very difficult time getting my WRT54GS to work with my Westell 6100 modem. I've been bouncing around gathering info, and what I've learned is that the goofy way CenturyLink tech support told me to hook up my old wired router (modem line into outgoing (LAN) router port) is because the Westell 6100 is a "smart modem/router". Therefore, when I run the Linksys setup CD, it sees the modem as a router, and won't properly configure. I've also learned that the Westell modem can be "dumbed down" into simply a modem by putting it into "bridge mode", which is where I'm at right now - trying to get it reset to factory defaults and resetting the connection type from PPPoE to Bridge. In the meantime, I also reset the WRT54GS to factory defaults, and now I've got another problem: the router will not allow me to set up encryption. The default setting is "Disabled", and when I click the down arrow and try to make any selection at all (preferred selection is WPA2 Personal), it reverts to Disabled. I've also tried to change the router's IP address to 192.168.2.1 (and alternately to 192.168.1.253), so it won't conflict with the modem's IP, and it freezes up every time I try.
This router is resetting to default(erase router name and passwords and resetting router login to default. only thing i see is my sons has a iphone that will use the wifi and i have set parental restriction on it during certian hours. This past 3 time it has reset in 2 weeks his phone with the parental restricions are common. one other thing is i use the app on my droid to check settings on the router .
so th ecommon points here are one one using wifi threw router and has restrictions on it and outer is me with the linksys app to log into my rrouter and make a change like yuring on parental controls on..
but what happens is the router will reboot and renames itself to cisc05179 and cleared all protection and sets router to unsecured.
I was trying to do a password recovery on a 1142 AP but enable password did not reset and I am stuck
AP model is AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Running IOS c1140-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JA1
Its autonomous so there is no controller. I renamed the config.txt file I am unable to rename or delete the private-config file. I get the message that file or directory cannot be found when i try to rename and permission denied when I try to delete it.
Got a Belkin wireless modem router some 18 monthes ago, and after a bit of a struggle managed to set it up. It worked fine, aside from the odd depower repower. For some reason, it just stopped working yesterday. I initially checked all my cabling etc and everything seems fine. I next tried resetting my modem/router to factory settings. When I tried to install the Belkin software I fell at the first hurdle with a message saying "The setup assistant is not able to connect to the router". After googling my issue, I followed others advice and running the cmd setting and typing in "ipconfig" only to find that my media state was disconnected.
i have a wrt54gl version1.1 ok so let me start from the beginning.a few months ago i left the contry so a friend of mine asked me to lent him my router. a few day`s ago i got back and got my router back. it was working fine until i got it back. the rest button won`t work. i can`t reset the router to factory default. the user name was blank and the password was admin.now it won`t let my to do that.
Due to password loss, I get to reset the E4200 to factory default in order for router re-config.After pressing the reset buttom for 10sec, the router reset. After then, I could not access the router via browser with 192.168.1.1 at URL entry. My PC IPv4 setup: 192.168.1.11; subnet=255.255.255.0.But, ping 192.168.1.1 from PC was OK without packet loss. So router was restored with 192.168.1.1 and cable connection was OK.
Turns out one of the relatives changed the router name and password, and in a fit of brilliance, forgot to WRITE THE NEW USERNAME/PASSWORD DOWN!So I typed in 192.168.1.1 and tried literally every combination I know. NOTHING works tried rebooting the WRT120N. I tried both holding the reset button in, as well as holding the reset button in along with pulling the power adapter cord. Neither of these achieved the desired result (which would be the resetting of the factory username and password to "admin/admin".
What is the procedure to reset a 1941 router to factory defaults? I just recieved my1 1941 router. I connected it up to my Mac using USB. I got loged in using the cisco/cisco login and it said it will only work once and that I should create a new account. So I entered the command as directed on the screen and it gave my an error about the command. I verified it three times and each time it rejected. While I was looking online for an answer the connection timed out and now I can't get back in.
How do I either retrieve or reset the router password? To edit it you have to have the current password, which it doesn't display. If I want to reset it do I have to do a factory reset on the router? If I do that, then I have to set everything up again.
I was given this router (it's my 3rd one) and cannot get the reset button to reset the password. I have run throught a 30/30/30 reset as well as just holding the button in for the standard 30 seconds.
I know the router works, as in i can ping it. It asks for a password when i go to 192.168.1.1, but *blank* and "admin" do not work. When i click the cancel button it displays a pink(salmon) screen that says "401 Unauthorized Authrization required". (all of this is when i am connected to it with an ethernet cable to #1)
When it's sitting there it has an led lit over power and one ove wlan which flickers from time to time.
I have tried to reset a Cisco 2811 to factory defaults to no avail. The system is locked, meaning it's set to go immediately to username and password before doing anything else after boot up. I cannot get to ROMMON, nor can the CTRL-B break sequence allow me the option. THere is a "no-password recovery" option that apparently is set (or unset?) but I cannot work with that.
I am a newbie with the routers, but I have tried various CTRL-B breaks from bootup, to particular times through the boot up sequence.
I do NOT have "enable" (also known as "privileged EXEC") access on the router. The router, when purchased, had a username and PW that is required to even get to the basic level 1 access. Without it the PW, I can't even get to exec mode.
I would like to the the RV042 for a one to one NAT, but I need it to NAT to an address that is not on it's local subnet. I have it routing properly to the address, but web interface only allows adding an IP on the local subnet. Is there a way around that?
We have 3 Cisco RV042. These were purchased to permit VPN from two branch offices to our head office. VPN is required to permit the two branch offices to use Avaya IP phones to connect to our main head office switchboard.We also have users on Blackberry and Apple iPhones to collect their mail through OWA from our Exchange 2010 server.
I've noticed in one of your threads that the RV042 routers configured for VPN do not permit the use of HTTPS to connect to OWA and that seems to be the problem for us. Since installing the VPN our OWA access is not possible.
What can I do to resolve this problem and what router would you suggest that I could use at the head office to enable the two branches to connect VPN to head office? And if there is a suitable router, would I need to replace all three?
I have a Linksys SRW2008MP that I am trying to reset to factory defaults. The guy who set this up is no longer employed at my company, and I do not know the IP address to login with a web browser. The switch does not have a reset button on the back. I follow the instructions from Cisco's website, which include connecting a console cable and using HyperTerminal to login. I can connect to the switch and watch it boot up in HyperTerminal. However, when I get to the point of inputting user name and password (which should be 'admin' and '<blank>', I can't figure out how to make to terminal emulator accept the input (much like pressing the Enter button in a web browser). According to the pictures on Cisco's website, there should be an Action -> Edit -> Execute option down below the login, but I don't see it, so maybe the switch has to verify my credentials before I get to that prompt?
This is the first time in my life using HyperTerminal, and I think that's where my problem is. How do I get HyperTerminal to accept my input?
I have also tried using TeraTerm, a different console cable, and a different computer.
I have an 1841 (256M w/ crypto card) that stopped booting. I reset it to factory defaults as per Cisco's directions, then began to setup with Cisco Configuration Professional. On the next reload I get this:
program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80 program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80 [code]...
The ios on the flash is "c1841-advsecurityk9-mz.124-22.T.bin"
I'm experiencing quite a slow vpn performance. I've tested different scenarios.* Windows XP with built-ín pptp client and Shrew ipsec client* Linux built-in pptp* wireless and wired connections? I never managed to go above 1MBps neither with windows or linux. I managed to go up to 3MBps using the Shrew client.I've also checked mtu settings and everything seems to be fine.
I am converting from a Cisco Model 850 to a RV042, all is well so far but I cannot implement one feature I had on the old router.I want to do one to one nat from one internal ip to one external ip but I only want to use one tcp/ip port.The command to do this on the old cisco 850 was this:"ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.181 80 75.xxx.xxx.181 80 extendable"Can this be done with the RV042?I can do one to one nat but it include all ports.
my office network is running using a Linksys Router RV042 and at home i have a Linksys Router BEFVP41. i'm trying to setup a QuickVPN from home to my office but having problems. both routers have different LAN IPs. the firmware version for my two routers are listed belowRV042 - ver. 1.3.7.4BEFVP41 - ver. 1.02.00?
LAN L1, with IP addresses 192.168.10.x, for Company C1 LAN L2, with IP addresses 192.168.11.x, for Company C2
I have networks separated: different racks (but very closer fisically: a wire can be thrown), different gateways (to DSL), but both LAN's must connect with each other. I have acquired two RV042, one for each company to create VPN's (permitting telejob).
I tried to upgrade the firmware of my RV042 router. I downloaded the file (RV0XX-v4.0.0.07-tm-20100819-code.bin) and check the cheksum. When I try to upload it, I have the message "413 Request Entity Too Large". How can I do ? Should I unzip the .bin file (it's about 30Mo) ?
i am trying to make a simple Site to SiteVPN between two offices, one has Cisco ASA and one has RV042 router.when traffic initiated from ASA side, i keep getting this message in Debug and tunnel wont come up . [IKEv1]: Group = A.A.A.139, IP = A.A.A.139, Queuing KEY-ACQUIRE messages to be processed when P1 SA is complete.Apr 26 00:15:53 [IKEv1 DEBUG]: Pitcher: received a key acquire message, spi 0x0
whereas if traffic initiated from RV042 side, i keep getting this message in debug and tunnel wont come up.
My quickvpn setup has been working great for a few years but it stop working recently with the following error message in wget_request_error.txt: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 501 Not Implemented 20:10:10 ERROR 501: Not Implemented.quickvpn hangs on the dreaded verifying network stage.Checked VPN router logs and also quickVPN client logs and confirmed the tunnel has been created successfully. However the ping was unsuccessful.I look through the forum and confirmed that my quickvpn user account and password only contains alphanumeric characters.
