The fourth is specific to the PC you're using to log into the router. Note the third octet (probably a 1 or 0). The other two spaces, called octets, are going to be different numbers between 0 and 255. Look among the gobbledygook for an IPv4 Address, which will start with 192.168. To determine which one on a PC connected to the router via Ethernet, open a command prompt and type ipconfig. The URL to type into the browser to access a router's settings is typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, or some variation. Some routers may also have a sticker with that default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and network security key (password) so you can indeed go back on the Wi-Fi after a reset. The actual access is typically done with a web browser, though many routers and mesh systems now can be controlled via an app. Again, do this via a PC attached to the router via Ethernet-resetting the router probably killed any potential Wi-Fi connection for the moment. Once a router is reset, you'll need that other username/password combo to access the router itself. Push it with a pen or unfolded paperclip, hold it for about 10 seconds, and the router will reset to the factory settings. Or use the nuclear option: Almost every router in existence has a recessed reset button. If you've got a router that came from your internet service provider (ISP), check the stickers on the unit before a reset-the ISP might have printed the SSID and network security key right on the hardware. Resetting the router only works if you have access via Wi-Fi (which we've just established you don't have) or physically, utilizing an Ethernet cable.

(The Wi-Fi password and router password are not the same-unless you went out of your way to assign the same password to both).
That's not possible if you don't know the password for the router. From there, you can easily reset your Wi-Fi password/key if you've forgotten it.

But, before you do a full router reset simply to get on your own Wi-Fi, try to log into into the router first. You need physical access to the router for this to work. This isn't for getting on someone else's Wi-Fi in the apartment next door. Security find-generic-password -wa XXXXX Reset the Router Type the following, replacing the Xs with the network name. On macOS, open up the Spotlight search (Cmd+Space) and type terminal to get the Mac equivalent of a command prompt. The word displayed is the Wi-Fi password/key you are missing. In the new data that comes up, look under Security Settings for the line Key Content. Netsh wlan show profile name="XXXXXXXX" key=clear At the prompt below, type the following, but replace the Xs with the network name you copied you only need the quotation marks if the network name has spaces in it, like "Cup o Jo Cafe." Pick the one you want to get the password for, highlight it, and copy it. The results will bring up a section called User Profiles-those are all the Wi-Fi networks (aka WLANs, or wireless local area networks) you've accessed and saved. A blinking cursor will indicate where you type. That'll open the black box full of text with the prompt inside-it's the line with a right-facing arrow at the end, probably something like C:\WINDOWS\system32\>.
Click the Star Menu, type "cmd" (no quotes), and the menu will show Command Prompt right-click that entry and select Run as administrator. It requires that you go into a Windows Command Prompt with administrative privileges. If you tell Windows to forget the network, then it also forgets the password.

It works because Windows 8 and 10 create a profile of every Wi-Fi network to which you connect. In other words, it only works if you've forgotten a previously used password. This trick works to recover a Wi-Fi network password (AKA network security key) only if you've previously attached to the Wi-Fi in question using that very password.
Some require such extreme patience that the café idea, even in quarantine, is going to look pretty good. However, there are other ways to get back on the wireless. Download an app for your phone like WiFi-Map (available for iOS and Android), and you'll have a list of millions of hotspots with free Wi-Fi for the taking (including some passwords for locked Wi-Fi connections if they're shared by any of the app's users). Pre COVID-19, you could just go to a café, buy a latte, and use the "free" Wi-Fi there (vaccines willing, maybe you'll do it again soon). Perhaps you forgot the password on your own network, or don't have neighbors willing to share the Wi-Fi goodness.
