Forgotten Password and Username on Router

I'm trying to open the NAT settings on my router because currently my 360 downloads at a rate of about 100MB/day. However, when I go to 192.168.1.1 I am prompted for a username and password, which I have forgotten.

It's a WRT54G from Linksys. How do I hard-reset the router back to factory defaults?

    With a paper clip push the reset button that is on the back of the router. Hold it down for while, like 30 seconds or something. You'll lose all your router settings as well.

    You might try using a blank user name, and "admin" as the password first, i believe that is the default.

    Some of the newer WRT routers also have the defaults embossed on the bottom, which is kind of nice.

    On Linksys:

    user Admin
    password (leave blank)

    ...As I recall. Been awhile since I had to do that.

    BA has the resetting method correct.
