You'll want to reset your router using the following instructions:

To reset the router using the reset button, use these steps:

  1. Look for the red reset button at the back of the router.
  2. Press and hold the reset button for approximately 5 seconds.
This will reset your router to factory defaults meaning you'll have to set up your router to the way you like it (i.e. adding a password to your wireless network etc.)

How do I get the password for my Wireless G Model WRT54G Router, if I can't remember it to configure a wireless printer that is asking for the password?

Which password do you need?
do you need the wifi key??

or the router password?

Try the default login information (make sure the computer is connected to the router):
http://192.168.1.1/
username: admin
password: [leave blank]

If this doesn't work, you will have to reset the router to it's default settings. There's a small reset button on the back. It is very small, it needs to be pressed with a pen.
This will reset to the default login information that I provided above.
PLease note that this method will reset any settings that have been already set in the router and you will have to set it again. These might include, port forwarding, wifi security and key, mac access list, etc.
Do not reset unless you know everything that needs to be set up again.

good luck.

You need to factory reset the router by holding down the little button on the back of the router (use a paper clip to push it). After doing so it will reset the password to the default which is admin.
