- “Password”: After most router resets, the password should be set to “password.”
- “admin”: Occasionally, Rebooting Verizon or technicians change the password to “admin,” although they are supposed to change it to the router’s serial number.
- Serial Number: Each router has a serial number on a sticker on the back, and often the password is changed to match this number.
