Linksys BEFSR11 Default Password

Looking for the Linksys BEFSR11 default password? You probably have little reason to access your router on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the BEFSR11 default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the BEFSR11 default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the Linksys BEFSR11, the default password is admin. As with most passwords, the BEFSR11 default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the BEFSR11 default password, you can also see the BEFSR11 default username and BEFSR11 default IP address in the table below.

Note: The Linksys BEFSR11 default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact BEFSR11 version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your Linksys BEFSR11 version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your BEFSR11 to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new BEFSR11 password.

Help! The BEFSR11 Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular Cisco Linksys BEFSR11, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

In most cases, if the Linksys BEFSR11 default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the BEFSR11 will be the same as the default gateway IP address configured for your network connection.

See How To Find the Default Gateway IP Address for help.

In situations where the BEFSR11 default password or BEFSR11 default username has changed, you'll need to reset the Linksys BEFSR11 to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.
