Steps to Change TP-Link Router Password
- Press the reset/WPS button located on the back of your TP-LINK Router for 10 seconds.
- After 10 seconds, a four-digit PIN code will be generated, and it will be shown on your web browser’s address bar. Important: Remember this code, as it is necessary for future access into your Router’s admin panel
- Enter the 4-digit PIN that is displayed in the address bar and click submit to continue
- Select your preferred language and click Next
- Set your new Admin Password and click Next
- Set the wireless password (Wireless Security Mode) and click Next
- Review the current configuration settings and click Finish
- Login with your new password:
For TP-LINK default IP address, this is admin/admin or user/user where the user option may work instead of the admin depending on which TP-LINK product you are trying to access (some devices may not have an “admin” account and only a “user” account).
After successfully changing the default password, your web browser will automatically be redirected to the TP-Link default IP address: 192.168.0.1. Here you will be able to make any changes you need.
Following these steps, you can indeed change the router password in just minutes, keeping your network secure at all times. If you still have questions concerning this procedure, do not hesitate to contact us via the comment section.
