Press enter. A password box should appear.
The default is
Username : Admin
Password : admin
Unless the default info has been changed it should work.
Otherwise 🙁
If you get in, go to the security page and change the password.
Make sure you have Administrator rights on the new laptop.

He has a router not priovided by an ISP.
If all of the above fails you, there should be a small reset buton on the back of your router. press it and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds. this will reset your router to an all default setting.
Then follow the advice of typing in 192.168.1.1 in your web browser (preferrably on a pc directly connected to the router)
there are 2 default user names and passwords
one is admin/admin
the other is admin/password
one will work for you. Reset you wireless settings once you are in.

Originally posted by NordlysYes, and the ISP wouldn't necessarily have this key (just might explain how to get it). It is more likely the ISP (after a long wait and a standard front line support diagnostic process) will instruct the user to reset the router back to its default settings (which will often, with some routers, make it an open network), which can be a pain as you would have to set up the router to the correct settings again.
Or maybe they'll have you on hold for a few hours. In any case, why make a phone call when a nifty program can do the same job fast, easy and for free?
Much easier would be to do as Crowley suggested.
