Reset the admin password
Sometimes, the administrator (admin user) password for accessing the web interface has been forgotten or lost. It is not possible to view the current password and recover it, but you can do the following:
If you previously installed the Netcraze application, use it to connect to the router settings and change the administrator password in it (the easiest and most convenient way);
Reset the current administrator password by editing the previously saved configuration file
startup-config.txtand then assign a new password (the method is for advanced users, see details in 'Restoring Keenetic router settings from a backup configuration file');Reset your router to the factory settings using the special Reset button on the case (universal, but most radical way, shown in the 'Resetting the system settings and admin password' article).
When you perform a reset, all user settings will be deleted. There is no administrator password for the router in the factory settings; the user assigns it at the initial setup. After restoring the factory settings, you will need to reconfigure the router's Internet connection. Before resetting, make sure you have all the information you need to set up your connection.
Tip
To avoid all user settings reset and to be able to change the administrator password, we recommend using the Netcraze mobile application on your phone or tablet and adding the router to it, or/and saving the configuration file (system file startup-config.txt) with the current settings of the router on your computer or mobile device.
