    Forgot my password, and I was looking to change my UPnP settings to improve my XBOX Live play. It's a Linksys WRT54GL router.

    I reset the router, and I know it went through because my wireless network is now unsecure.

    I log into the router using 192.168.1.1, and enter the username as blank, and the password as "admin", which is the default settings. It refuses to log me in.

    :(

    Nevermind. A full reset allowed me to log in, and now it's back to normal. :D

    Funny, though. UPnP was already enabled, so I did that all for nothing.
