    I forgot the user name & password. I tried to reset the router using the reset button at the back of the router. But, it didn't help. Don't know whether I missed something. Any clue?.

    Thanx

    Look on the back of router. There should be a small hole, usually just to the
    left of the power jack on router. Inside that hole is a small button. Find
    something small enough to press and hold it while the router is powered up.
    While pressing and holding, watch the lights on the front. With router, its
    usually the M1 and M2 lights that will go solid while holding the reset
    button. Keep holding the reset until they start blinking. Its now reset.

    My router is a "ZTE ZXDSL 831 II". I tried using that hole, as it is mentioned in the manual. (Pressing for 3 seconds. Didn't work. Pressed 3 times. it also didn't work.)

    Thanx :)
