Can't Log Into EE 5G Modem after reset using passowrd on base sticker

[Fergy007]

Hi, I have reset my EE 5G Modem (the big white one that looks like an EE branded Huawe. It seemed to reset correctly, but I could not log into the modem itself. I can use the default password from the stick on the base, but the router password on the sticker doesn't work.  I tried typing admin in, too, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks, David

@Fergy007 : What do you mean by "default password from the sticker on the base" as opposed to " router password on the sticker"? What's the diff? Isn't 1 the router admin login pwd & the other the WiFi pwd for connecting devices to it?

Basically, I reset the router. I can connect to the internet using the Wifi network name as per the sticker as well as the password below. However, when I type in 192.168.1.1 and see the basic EE stuff but click login it asks for a password. The password doesn't work. I tried both the "Login password" and the "Router password" from the sticker. Does that make sense?

Hi @Fergy007 

Welcome to the community. 

Could you try the steps below please?

Go to Connection Manager or type 192.168.1.1 into your browser

Select Settings

Log in - the default username and password is:

• username: admin
• password: admin

Do these details work for you?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. It comes up with a EE branded webpage with no settings option. There is a login option which asks for password but the passwords on the sticker don’t work nor does “admin”.

Just as a trial, try the "Log in to read texts Click here". It will also take you into router.

Copied and pasted the password then unclicked hide to check it was correct. It was. I manually typed the same password. It worked. Every day is a school day. Thanks guys.
