   Most routers have a reset button. Hold the button for several seconds until   
   something happens on the router -- lights blinking in some pattern, or they   
   turn off, or it beeps... *something*. Then give it time to reboot (a few   
   seconds, give or take) then log into the router via the usual interface (many   
   modern routers provide a web interface via a private address, e.g.   
   http://192.168.0.1/ or similar) and set a new password.
