     Well I specifically said that I needed it to get new I pad to use   
   the network.   
     "Log into the router "  ?? What does that mean. I have no set-up   
   program or disk. It was set up as required via a telephone call to   
   some phone number given when I purched it. There is/was no   
   installatiion disk or owners manual.   
      Lynksys, on their site, claims to offer password recovery but   
   I can't even get a response from them!!
