. Not access your router settings but they may have other methods

Try

User : Admin

Pass : Admin

or

User : Admin

Pass : Default

these are normally the default router user/pass settings

I seriously think you're wasting your time. If you're being honest about her computer knowledge, then she WILL get around whatever you try.

Will you come on MSN please..

For a netgear it will be

Username : admin
Password : password

OR

username: admin
password : 1234

If it isn't then it's been changed. The only way of getting into it then would be to hard reset it.

So do you normally make blanket statements about people destroying their lives?

I'm probably the biggest example of someone who has played WoW excessively, yet i've managed to sort out everything myself.

I'll tell you one thing though - I don't regret a minute of what I did. If I could go back, I wouldn't have changed what I did for two years. Just because I was sat in front of a screen, doesn't mean I didn't have a damn good time.

If you use the same computer, go into the World of warcraft file (normally in c

rogram files) then find a file named realmlist.wtf just delete the top line of text and replace it with random jargon and hope she doesnt find out :O

Sinque · 15 Aug 2007 at 20:42

Just keep deleting the biggest game files in the WoW folder. It takes forever to re-install it, download and install all the patches. Delete her addons folder as well. Bin her disks and repeat. She'll give in eventually

Does it have to do with my laptop? Its not mine, it is owned by some company.

No, if it comes up with a login box then it will be nothing to do with the laptop. If those logins don't work, then as I said a hard factory reset will be the only way of getting back into the router unless you know the login name/password.
