What should I do if I forget my router's Wi-Fi password?
  • If you have forgotten both your router's login password, as well as your Wi-Fi password, you can restore your router to its factory settings: Using a pin to press the Reset button on your router for approximately 2 seconds until the indicator lights go out, then follow the instructions from your User Guide to reset the router.

    When you restore your router to factory settings, all existing configurations will be lost. You will need to set up your router again before you can get online.

    • However, if you recall the login password for your router, you can find out your Wi-Fi password using the following methods:

      Method 1: Through the HUAWEI AI Life App

      1. Connect your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network.
      2. Open the HUAWEI AI Life App on your phone, and go to Tools > Advanced settings.
      3. Then go to My Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi settings, and touch the icon next to Wi-Fi network password to view your current Wi-Fi password

      Method 2: Through the web-based management page on your computer

      1. Connect your computer to your router's Wi-Fi network. You can also connect your computer to the LAN port on your router using an Ethernet cable.
      2. Open your Internet browser. Enter the default IP address in your browser address bar and log in to your router's web-based management page (check the nameplate on the router for the default IP address) .

        For routers that feature self-adaptive ports, you do not need to distinguish between WAN and LAN ports.

      3. Click My Wi-Fi, then touch the icon next to Wi-Fi network password to view your current Wi-Fi password
