I have a setup including a cable modem, linksys, and iMac G5 downstairs, another linksys 802.11g router upstairs with my older iMac, and another iMac upstairs connected to the network with an airport card. I want to try and login to the main router downstairs to change some settings, but I forgot the login and password and can't find the scrap of paper the tech guy and I wrote it on. I have been trying this on and off for the past few months with no avail. Is there any way I can get in there? He used some software other than the linksys stuff, called Ambit. I know how to get around once I'm in there, but I can't get in so far... any help?
Got a tip for us?

Have you tried the linksys defaults?
If that doesn't work you may want to try calling the tech company who set it up - they may always use the same login name & password.
You could always reset the router by pressing the reset button (on the back of the unit), but this will erase your entire configuration, so it should only be used as a last resort.

Try a soft reset of the linksys router. Should restore it to the factory defaults in the event that you changed the password. The software will probably restore to Ambit if you soft reset, since I don't believe that the ROM size on the Linksys routers is big enough to carry two firmwares.
