Linksys BEFW11P1 Default Password

BEFW11P1 Default Password & Other Default Login Info

By , About.com Guide

Looking for the Linksys BEFW11P1 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 BEFW11P1 default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the BEFW11P1 default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the Linksys BEFW11P1, the default password is [none]. In other words, there is no BEFW11P1 default password and you should leave the field blank when asked for a password.

In addition to the BEFW11P1 default password, you can also see the BEFW11P1 default username and BEFW11P1 default IP address in the table below.

Note: The Linksys BEFW11P1 default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact BEFW11P1 version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your Linksys BEFW11P1 version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your BEFW11P1 to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new BEFW11P1 password.

Help! The BEFW11P1 Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular Cisco Linksys BEFW11P1, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

In most cases, if the Linksys BEFW11P1 default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the BEFW11P1 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 BEFW11P1 default password or BEFW11P1 default username has changed, you'll need to reset the Linksys BEFW11P1 to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.

The BEFW11P1 manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the BEFW11P1 from Linksys Support.

Please let me know if any of the BEFW11P1 default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the BEFW11P1 default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.
