   You guessed right. According to the screen shots its a prolink h5004nk   
   adsl wireless modem

   Everyone is using wifi, not dls. It's a wired wifi router with ports for   
   DSL being unused.

   Yeah but I don't own it and I'm not the one paying most of the bill. I'm   
   just trying to get the pw so I can reboot the rounter from browser which   
   in the past worked. The modem/router is very flaky and often disallows   
   DNS lookups requiring a reboot of the router. Don't know why?

   Ok, I went through the old screen shots and these are the sections that   
   look important maybe requiring my input after the reset:   
      
   DNS CONFIGURATION   
   LAN CONFIGURATION   
   LAN INTERFACE SETUP   
   LAN PORT   
   DHCP MODE   
   COMMIT/REBOOT-COMMIT   
      
   CHANGES, RESET,REBOOT   
   IP QOS   
   IGMP PROXY CONFIG ENABLED   
      
   Funny I don't see in the screenshots a section for setting   
   encryption/passphrase? What section would that be under?   
   The sections at the top of the screenshots are: Status,   
   Setup,Advanced,Service,Firewall,Maintenance,Logout   
      
   Thanks again Jeff, ur the BEST!
