admin / (blank)
admin / password
Administrator / (blank)
Administrator / password

Administrator / 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).

I do a reset is there anything I need to watch out for or will it work as normal afterwards?

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

Quote from: Mav I have the 585 v7 and had to do a factory reset a few weeks ago and it was admin that was required.
Oh, that's odd - I was going on this: www.plus.net/support/hardware/thomson585web.pdf (setion 9 refers.)

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.

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 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.

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!
