That if your internet set-up is anything like mine, you will have two router passwords.

The first, which enables log-in to the router admin is the ISP password, and will need to be changed on their website.

The second (and possibly third, if it's a dual band router) are the passwords you used to set up your wireless network/s and can be changed easily by logging in to the router.
