   Is it? Why then, do you continue to refuse to divulge the model number   
   of the router, even though you've been asked for it SEVERAL TIMES?

   Once again, you refuse to answer direct questions. You've been asked   
   repeatedly what specific router you have. The brand name only is NOT   
   HELPFUL. If you wanted parts for your car, do you think just saying   
   "Ford" is enough information? Are you being deliberately obtuse?   
      
   Also, you have never been specific about WHICH password you're   
   looking for. There is the router password, which you use to get into   
   its setup utility via your web browser. Then there is the wireless   
   network passkey, which a computer will need to connect to the   
   wireless network. Which is it? You must be specific to get a useful   
   answer.   
      
   Even if you didn't get a manual in the original package, you can   
   download one in just a few seconds. A simple google search for   
   "Linksys router manual" got me a bunch of hits. Took 2 seconds. Why   
   haven't you done it?   
      
   Even if you can't be bothered, you have already been told SEVERAL   
   TIMES how to do it. Why have you ignored all that good advice?

   The question has already been answered SEVERAL times. The answer is   
   "No." If you've forgotten the router password, and it's been changed   
   from the factory default, you will need to reset it back to the   
   factory default by pushing the little button, as has been described   
   to you SEVERAL times and is detailed in the manual, which you can   
   easily acquire. If you've forgotten the wireless network passkey,   
   you will have to get into the router setup (by the above method, if   
   necessary) and reset the passkey there.   
      
   If and when you do find out the passwords, write them both on a note   
   and tape them to the router.
