Thomson TG585v7 password

[#1]

Hi all,
I am trying to log into my Thomson router and have tried all of the following combinations without success - any ideas?
admin / (blank)
admin / password
Administrator / (blank)
Administrator / password
admin / admin
admin / serial number
Administrator / serial number
Cheers
Paul

Unless the login details have been changed it's usually admin / serial number.
Ensure you haven't mixed a zero with an O and, as far as I remember it's case sensitive.
If all else fails you can do a factory reset by pushing a pin into the reset hole and holding it for 15 seconds (I think).

Thanks Mav. I've tried in the correct case and have watched for O's and zeros.
I do a reset is there anything I need to watch out for or will it work as normal afterwards?

Think it's Administrator and serial number for that particular router unless one or both have been changed - both case-sensitive.

[#5]

Tried that!
Have never changed any usernames or passwords.

I have the 585 v7 and had to do a factory reset a few weeks ago and it was admin that was required.

B's and 8's can also get mixed up - well, did for me once or twice

Oh, that's odd - I was going on this: www.plus.net/support/hardware/thomson585web.pdf (setion 9 refers.)

Does the software version make a difference (I have 8.2.6.5).
I used to change the login details but after the recent problem where, for once, I had forgotten them, I left them at their default and it displays 'admin' when I logged in  earlier.

Look on the bottom of the router and copy down the serial number : It begins CP................
you do NOT need the Wifi password

Put http://192.168.1.254/login.lp into your browser
Type "admin" in the Adminstrator box
Next make sure CAPS Lock is ON and type the password you noted down to begin with into the password box
See below for pic.
if this doesn't work then clear your browsser cache either from the browser tools or by using a program such as C Cleaner
If THAT does not wrk then do the factory reset using a pin the reset button.
WARNING The router may take a while to restart. It is designed to pick up your account details & log in automatically from Plus net when it recognises the internet connection usign a system called TR69 . Sometimes this doesn't work and you will need to log in - as has been descrbed - and enter them yourself. Do you know them?
Good luck!

I'm sorted, thanks chaps.
I opened the page linked from JayG, and then had to do a hard reset of the router as suggested by gpsmout.
One thing I noticed though that when I got to Step 9 as described here (http://www.plus.net/support/hardware/thomson585web.pdf) the Username had defaulted to "thomson" which obviously I hadn't tried earlier as I had no inkling that's what it might be.

User name "thomson"?
Is this a Plus Net Branded  router supplied by them or did you aquire it elsewhere? Just wondering!

[#13]

It was supplied by PlusNet - probably way back in the Force 9 days. It's not "branded" with anything to identify the ISP, but it must be at least 9 or 10 years old!
