Hello Boss429,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
This is what I have found:
 
Step 1 Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the wireless router in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 2 The default username is admin and the password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3 Click the Tools tab and then click Admin to the left.

Step 4 To change the administrative password, enter a new password in the Admin section.

To change the user password, enter a new password in the User section.

Step 5 Click Apply then click Continue to save the settings.

Hello @ 
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum and a Merry Christmas to you.
 
If I may add to Sherry's post, is your router rented from your cable company or did you buy it out right?

Does your router work with DDWRT or openWRT or tomato? I highly recommend alternative firmware.
