   My Linksys router (WAG200G?) came with a set-up disk and a user manual.   
      
   Why are you bothering with a helpdesk? I hate to say this, but have you   
   tried to Google for anything? IIRC, what I found online was somewhat   
   more understandable than what was supplied.   
      
   With my router, I think that the out-of-the-box user name was 'admin',   
   and the password was 'password' (which I think is pretty standard), and   
   that's what you'll get if you carry out the simple reset procedure. All   
   you then need to do if to reassign new ones.
