Default Wireless router password

I recently reset my wireless router cause i was having problems with the
internet. now the router is back to factory settings but its locked so i cant
access it from my laptop because of this. when i type my IP into the address
bar a login screen comes up but it wont let me use admin or my user login
information. How do i get by this if it wont let me login?

Suggest logging into the router from your desktop and configure it from
there. Presuming you are employing a wireless router and attempting to
access it via the wireless link from your laptop. BTW would it be a Linksys
product? 192.168.1.1?? Been there!! Cheers

Try it as blank, admin, administrator, linksys or dlink... Or password.

What kind of router is it?

Dear Experts,
I am working in an orginazation i am new here & previous
Network administrator changed the password of our router & i dont know which
series or which model router is. because its a white color Router without any
name.

i don't want to reset it because all configuration will be lost

Given the information you've given us - no, there is no way to retrieve the
password. Reset the router and start over again.
