Every router ships with a default admin username and password. Most manufacturers use `admin` / `admin` - but there are exceptions. This list covers every major brand.
The sticker on the bottom or back of your router always shows the correct credentials for your specific unit. Some ISPs change the default before shipping. Check the sticker first, then use this list as a reference.

Why You Should Change Your Default Password
Default passwords are publicly known. Anyone who can reach your router's admin page - whether on your network or via a vulnerability - can log in with these credentials. Change the admin password immediately after your first login. Use something unique that you do not use on any other account.
