Getting a new router ( to solve PF'ing )

[Canon]

Well the deal is..I'm buying a new router because, I recently connected to my router again, but I am running a GTASA:MP server, so I need to forward the server's port. And if you know about PF you'll know that I need the routers login info, well for some reason or another it is no longer default user/pass !

So I'm buying a new router, hopefully then I can login and forward the nessecary ports?

Why not use the factory reset button that almost every router has?

I Think I just died inside...I'll go look. ;(

EDIT:Nope, even after resetting, the default user/pass still dont work.

Then obviously you are not putting in the default username and password. Make sure you read the owners manual to get there right one. Some routers uses admin/admin, admin/password, <blank>/admin, <blank>/password, admin/<blank>, administrator/administrator, administrator/password, etc... So don't assume you know one without reading the manual.

Also make sure you puss the button in all the way and hold it there until the unit's lights flash. Then unplug the unit and plug it back in after 30 seconds. That's how you fully reset it.

No use buying a new router unless you know for sure that it's gone.

Ok I got it, But now when I go to the default IP and login, it just displays a blank page..? Maybe because I've just reset?

If your using firefox try using IE. The router may not like FF.
