How can you reset a router if you put a password on it and can't remember it?

Most routers have some type of combination of hitting a recessed reset button while turning it on to reset the router back to default, check your manual, if you don't have it check the company's website for a copy of the manual.

For my SBC DSL modem/router, I actually had to call SBC to get it reset. I was kind of surprised since most routers will let you reset by hand, as DarienA said. If you have a company-issued combo router/modem, you might actually have to call 'em up.

What router is it? My Motorola has a recessed button thats needs to be pushed in for 20 seconds (i think, possibly shorter)

There's a button somewhere on the router, press it in with a pen or a paper clip end or something, HOLD the button down till it resets.

It's a D-Link. DarienA anwsered my question for me. My Dad is claiming that the wireless network I setup in the house isn't working anymore and the I put a password on the router (I know I didn't) since I'm not there to configure the router I just figured that he can start from scratch and then re-do it.
