Most routers come with a password built in.

check the documentation (Sometimes it comes with the router printed, sometimes it is a PDF on the CD that came with it), but in my experience, it is usually:

User Name: admin

Password: admin

The first thing to make sure of is that you are connecting to your own linksys router and not a neighbors. Use the direct connection set up to rename your router to something unique and make sure that is the one you are connecting to.

Probably it was already set or you are using a wrong username/password. If you can't log in you need to reset the router. There should a reset button, use it.

What is the password for all linksys routers?

There is no universal password. Each router has its own personal password that can be tailor-made to fit the owner's whim. You can get on the settings and in that case the username and password are both admin, or , for older routers, no username and password is admin. Partially true, there are linksys routers where the default user or default password is linksys. SO no matter what its always a good idea to change stuff to a personal choice user or pw. -- Above is generally correct, but by default user linksys and / or pw of admin is very very common, sufficent enough that every linksys item I have had has had one or the other or both.. . It is very advisable to change the defaults no matter how well you protect yourself.
