Admin passwords

Drummer22 — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 16:24:53 GMT

Afternoon all first time posting so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place.

I somehow managed to change the admin password on my home hub 6, and I cannot remember what I changed it to. Yes i know you don't have to tell me what I am. But I would appreciate it if you could help me change it back.

Many thanks in advance.

@Drummer22 Welcome to the Community forum

’Let he who is without sin cast the first stone’.

Simply factory reset with a paperclip in the reset hole keeping the switch closed for about 25 seconds. You will need to set it up again from scratch, see the instructions pinned to the top or this router board.

Hi baldrick1

Well I made it back which means it worked. Thanks so much for your help. I only wanted to check why the broadband speed was dropping and since the reset I'm getting nearly double speed so once again thanks for your help.

@Drummer22 As an aside, if your speed is dropping, that could indicate a network issue, which the 'reset' will have temporarily cleared. Keep you eye on it, and post back, as a new topic in the 'broadband' board if it misbehaves again.
