Lost password on TP Link Router

[pedruid]

A friend in my retirement village has forgotten her wifi password for her TP Link router and I understand that they no longer print it on the underside of the router. Any ideas how I can help her find it?

Just reset the router to default and use the default login and password which is usually admin / admin

What he ^^ said. Do a factory reset. It resets both the username and password to admin.

If admin /admin doesnt work ... try admin/password

Or you could just log in and change it. 90% of people don't change the admin username and password, so it's as simple as logging in and changing the WiFi password to something she will remember.

This is based on assumption:

http://192.168.1.1

Username(If required): admin | administrator
Password: admin | administrator
Go to Wireless, then change the password from there.

I noticed with the new TP Link it forces you to change username and password when you first log in

On a Windows computer already connected to the wireless
Open command prompt and enter the below:

netsh show profile name=<your wireless name> key=clear

example:
netsh show profile name=Test_Wireless key=clear
