Hello Tú Anh. Your answer is very accurate as many users have complained about not being able to access the modem configuration page even though they entered the correct username and password as provided by Mytour in the article on changing wifi passwords on computers.
There are several reasons why logging in as admin on the router may fail or why you cannot access the router even though you entered the correct admin credentials.
- Your modem's password has been changed
In the case that your modem's password has been changed, it's because someone on the same wired or wireless network has accessed the modem or router configuration page and changed the wifi login password, preventing you from logging in with the old password.
With this cause, you can reset your modem or router by pressing the Reset button located at the back of the device. Some router and modem models have the reset button designed as a small hole, so you'll need to use small pins to poke and reset the modem, router.
- You entered the wrong username or password.
Even though you may enter the username and password for the modem, router correctly, the password may be hidden so you can't see if you've entered it correctly, or you may have accidentally typed the password in uppercase. You should check if the Caps Lock key is lit up or try typing it out in Word to check the Caps Lock status.
In this case, try entering each word in the username and password correctly. If it doesn't work, try resetting the router and modem to reset all the settings of the modem and router.
Modems and wifi routers are indispensable tools for broadcasting wifi to other devices, but configuring a wifi modem has never been simple for regular users. Therefore, to configure a wifi modem, you first need to understand the list of login accounts for popular modem models so that you can apply them correctly to each modem model.
Additionally, you should regularly change your wifi password to ensure protection against password hacking tools stealing and unauthorized access to your home wifi network, while also avoiding the hassle of finding every method to retrieve your wifi password. Moreover, understanding the proper placement of the wifi modem also contributes to improving the signal quality and wifi coverage for your home.
Wishing you success, Tú Anh!
