Hi, I want to open my NAT again to be able to play Halo and other games with my friends, the only problem is when I type in the ip address and it asks for the username and password the old admin-admin doesnt work. Any way to find out what my username and password is?

Well that's no good! Anyway, there's still a solution. Depending on your router, the default username and password varies - but I can tell you for my Linksys (WRT54GS), they are:

Username: *leave blank*

Password: admin

However, if someone has changed it or you somehow forgot, you can reset the router by pushing and holding the button on the back for about 5-10 seconds. This will forcefully restore facory settings, wiping out all usernames/passes, AND any custom settings. Use this as a last measure.

Hope this helps ya out!
