The user ID and password are in the manual. If you ever have to do to a
*hard* reset on the router with holding the *Reset* button down for 30
seconds or more, the router is going to set all of it's settings back to
its out of the box default state. That will be the one for user ID and
PSW in the manual and all other settings returned to their default settings.

You might want to look at the link and change the user-id and psw to
something else, as everyone else knows the default on the router.

BTW, in that other post about the print server, you should use a static
IP on the router for the print server wired or wireless.

You don't want the print server using a DHCP IP issued by the router,
because with the DHCP IP used by the print server, the computers
networking with the print server will not work anymore as the are locked
in the the IP the print server is using.

If for some reason that the router's DHCP server issue a new IP to the
print server, the computers will not be able to find it. That won't
happen with a static IP used by the print server. The *D* in DHCP means
Dynamic.
