Hi, this is Lisa Ballard. Okay. Well, I was hacked not too long ago. So, I changed my linksys remote Management.com password, and then I changed the password to[silence] my Wi-Fi password, and I thought my Wi-Fi password was ******, but it's not working. So now I just tried to get into Linksys remote Management, didn't get in there, so I changed that password again. Now I I still can't freaking get in. I I don't know. I'm having a very difficult day. I I mean, well, I was going to go into Linksys app. Well, I was going to go into remote Management and then check my Wi-Fi password, but because I changed everything in the in the house, but now when I try to use it, it's not working. But the things that were already hooked up were working, but then I try to use it for something else, it's not working. I don't know. I don't know what I've done. I need help.
00:00
Speaker 2
Are you trying to log into the system settings or does the link just ask you?
01:00
Speaker 1
[ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] So, right now, I've gone to linksys, remote, management, dot com, and I changed my password. [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] But then when I go to the link to smart, wi-fi, sign in, it doesn't work. It won't sign in. [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] Leave me here. [ silence ] Yes. Linksys, remotemanagement, dot com. [ silence ] And I'm trying to log in and it won't let me log in, even though I just changed the password. [ silence ]
02:00
Speaker 2
Sorry, I didn't notice how extreme, but yeah, you went to link to Synotech.com. Is that what you said? Huh? But, then, what I, yeah, I think it will not work because the cloud server has been discontinued. So, if you're trying to log in using your account, it's not possible.
02:00
Speaker 1
Oh, the links is, did you, okay, so my computer is on Wi-Fi and it's running. That's the only way my computer will go on the Internet is through Wi-Fi and it's running. But what I wrote down as my Wi-Fi password, when I try to put it on something else, it says it's not valid. It doesn't hook up. I don't, I need to go in and see what my Wi-Fi password is, I guess. So, okay, so first of all, I'm
03:00
Speaker 2
No. Uh... Uh are you are you doing remote access to your router settings? are you planning to do that or just want to manage the uh router? [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
The link to remote management no longer works, right? Okay. My iPhone is connected to the Wi-Fi connection. Okay. I'm going by the Wi-Fi, so there it is. Right. Oh, okay. View. Oh, I see it now. Okay, there's my password. Sorry. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Yes, correct. I also you again you can still login using the local access which is the admin password. And if you want to know the password of your router, is there like a device that's still connected to the Wi-Fi right now? other than your computer? Do you have phone I phone connected to the Wi-Fi? All right, can we go to your iPhone settings and Wi-Fi settings? Then beside the network name that your iPhone is connected to, there's like information icon it is a blue circle with a eye inside. Tap that. And then there's a yeah view password.
04:00
Speaker 1
I obviously updated it one time and totally forgot that I did that. Oh. Yeah. That'll probably work because it's different than what I had. See what happened somehow they got into my computer. Even though I had bitdefender and I have a different IP address for my router and I had thought all these passwords for my router and my Wi-Fi. They got into my computer and they accessed my bank account and stole all my money. So I've been I've been busy trying to change all the passwords and I was so inundated I must have written down I wrote it down wrong.
05:00
Speaker 2
right is that the password you've been looking for or no or is that the password you wanted oh okay yeah hmm oh yeah that's unfortunate but yeah [ silence ]
05:00
Speaker 1
You know what I'm saying? That let's be the one, that's the one that seems to be working. So now I can go back over here and see if I can. I don't know how to do this. So tell you what, I'm about ready to quit doing everything on the computer. I'm about done with it. Did you help me? I got the right password down, I think. Because if it's working on the iPhone, it's got to be the correct password. I had written down something different for some reason. So, thank you. And I didn't know that the remote wouldn't work. How do I get into the app here locally at my house? How do I get into my house?
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay, but that's the password you created, right? That the one showing your phone, correct? You just need to download the Instas app and open it. It will ask to set up a new product or manage select.
06:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I'm on a Windows computer, how do I get the app? Where do I get the app? Oh, I can't. Okay. You're losing me, okay? I'm old. You're going to have to slow down. Okay, so I'm on my desktop computer and I got a new tab open on my
07:00
Speaker 2
Manage Wi-Fi and there's two options to login, which is email and then password of that email, but that's not working anymore. So go to router login or router password, select that. Will ask for or it will ask for router password. I set a router password. And if you forgot the router password, by default, it's admin, A-D-M-I-N. But if you created a password, then you forgot it, uh, forgot password. Okay, you can download the app in your Windows computer unless you download the a simulator, a BlueStacks or something. But, but yeah, you can use the web, web address or web settings. I'm sorry, Kasia. What was that? Got it.
07:00
Speaker 1

08:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'll be able to read it. I zoomed in. Okay. You're used to dealing with this, so you've got it all in your head. It's all, I hadn't messed with it since I installed it. Once I install it, I never mess with it again. So then I don't remember. My husband says I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Okay, so I've got the serial number and the Mac address. And okay, so what do I do now? Okay. Okay, five nine A10 Mary 2 Baker Dog 0 0 2 7 5.

11:00
Speaker 2
if you're using Chrome. You ready? That is myrouter.info. Enter the password. The password that you think will work on that. You can try. Router password. But the Wi-Fi password might work. So you can try. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
No, I didn't like that one. So, let me do the, okay. So, I wanna do the what I had down for the router password. It's much harder. This one must have worked. I wanna circle this because this is a good one. I got a notebook with 400 that were in it. It's like, [silence] Must be working because it's taking a while. [silence] It's just sitting there waiting and spinning. I don't understand. [silence] Okay so that definitely, I will go back.
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay. But is it working? Does it work? Or did it not? Okay. All right, what happened? Oh, okay.
13:00
Speaker 1
Wi-Fi passwords don't change this one. This is not what it is. It's still doing the same thing. It says still waiting, not doing anything. It's okay. Okay, it's reloading the page.
14:00
Speaker 2
It's just loading. Oh, OK. OK, can you reload the page?
14:00
Speaker 1
thing. It's it's spinning up there. What did I do? Lose my internet? Okay, gotta put in the. password again. yeah Let's let's try to, okay, let's try this. Oh, where'd I get the history, I don't want history. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
Oh, instead of that, let's reset the password. It will not affect your Wi-Fi password though. So there's an option, reset password, and it will ask you for a recovery key that's the five numbers located at the bottom of the router, bottom part of the router. Enter that. But you have to click reset password first. Hm? okay.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, reset password. Recovery. Okay, submit. Okay, admin password. Okay, reset. Of course, you can't see it and you hope you don't make a typo. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
Right now, admin password.
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it's sitting and waiting. Okay, it's on now. Okay, so, like I said, in three times, yep, there's my password. That's what I needed to know. Okay. Okay. So that's all I was doing. Basically, that's all I was trying to do is get that one, because I had written down something else and it wasn't working. But I knew that everything in the house is working. So I know I had it at one time, I just wrote down the wrong thing. So now I've got it. I'm in there. So I always go to MyRouter.info, and it will bring up the router automatically, right? Okay, got you. Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
OK that's and this how you are. OK. I think. Hmm. Yes correct. I mean not automatically you'll have to enter the password and you will see the dashboard of the router.
17:00
