I am using a Tenda wireless broadband router connected to my Virgin
cable modem. The Iyonix and PC are connected to te Tenda by cable.
However I use my Nexus tablet to connect to the system wirelessly.
I have lost the password I used when setting up the Tenda.
Is there any way I can get at my password.

Well you could just logon to your router with the PC Browser and

Mmnnn!
I know nothing of the router in question, but knowing my own router
(Netgear) even going in via the Browser method will require the user name
and password.
And when you get at the settings the password is most likely not in human
readable form just a number of stars. ********
Of course if you were using something like Firefox (Maybe others I don't
use, so don't know) and you have it set to remember passwords, it will
already be auto set when you activate the URL.
Additionally, if you do (Firefox) Menubar Tools>Options>Security Tab,
Click the "Saved Passwords" button, then "Show Passwords" button (Bottom
right) you might find it there in human readable form.
That method saved my bacon recently...

not, making them very easily hackable! ;-) They will use a simple
range of passwords (sometines on the underneath of the device). It
should also be in the manual, or the companies website

its, admin and admin

Hence why I said you can change it if necessary. Some devices have a
tick box to make it human readable briefly.

To login to the router yes but obviously not the Wireless password.

Thanks Team.
I had already used admin - admin which is underneath tha router but
not had any success.
I tried again and going through the many menu and sub-menu's I did
find the password.
Thanks for the nudges.

There's a moral in that exchange about passwords: WRITE THEM DOWN in a
secret place.
If you are someone who uses different passwords everywhere (as we should)
you will need something like an address book with at least two pages for
each letter of the alphabet.
There are sales on. :-)
