    I'm trying to re-install my Linksys WRT-150N router after moving to a new location. The software aks me for a password, but I don't remember what I used to replace the default admin password. How can I find or change the missing password?

    You can only reset the router to default settings by pressing the reset button on the back of the router, as password "recovery" is not allowed for discussion here at NBR. Then you will be able to set a new password.

    Hold down the reset button for 5 seconds. Of course, then you'll have to reconfigure everything...
