Got a new phone 192.168.1.1 Can't find your password? Don't be in a hurry to reset it, I'll get your password back in ascending order of cost.

Last month I changed my mobile phone. I forgot one thing before retiring my old Huawei one.: The management password in the background of the router is always stored in the browser of that phone. 192.168.1.1 It's all automatic filling, I've never typed in a complete password manually. I got a new mobile phone and wanted to change the WiFi password at night. I typed in the address and the login box popped up. The password box was empty. I stared at it for half a minute - I really couldn't remember what the password was.

At that moment, my first reaction was to take out a paperclip and poke the reset hole. Fortunately, I held myself back before taking action.: With the reset button, the broadband account, WiFi password, port mapping, and IP binding are all cleared, and seven or eight devices at home are reconfigured. Redial after reset This set of prices was written in that article. Just a password, not worth it. Later, I tried step by step according to the cost from small to large, and found the password on the third night without touching a single line of reset. This article outlines the entire path, and if you follow it, you most likely won’t have to get to the finishing step.

Think clearly first: The password is most likely not lost, but the "key" is lost.

Many people get stuck at this step and get sidetracked. The router's management password is stored in the router, not in the mobile phone - the one on the mobile phone is just "you asked the browser to remember it for you before". So what you lose when changing your phone is not the password itself, but the spare key. Once you figure this out, you'll have more directions to look for.: The old keys may still be in another pocket.

my own example: The password is in the password management of my old mobile phone browser, in the browser of my wife’s computer, and in the Mijia App authorization bound to the router, three keys. Throw one away, and there are two left. Your house keys may be distributed differently, but the idea is the same: Count all the "devices that have touched this background" in your home one by one. After counting, you will find that there are more available intersections than you thought.

I will give you a check list I made that night. Before searching, check the situation at home first.:

first stop: Don’t be in a hurry to clear data on your old phone. Check the password book of your browser first.

My password is lying in the old Huawei. Assuming that the old phone has not been sold or cleared, it only takes two minutes to dig it out.: Chrome is settings, password management, search by website 192.168.1.1 , click the little eye to verify the lock screen password, and the original password will be displayed. Domestic browsers have various names, but the menu with the word "password" in the settings basically has this item. Quark is located slightly deeper in settings, privacy, and password management.

How to save in mobile Safari is different: The password is not in Safari's own hands, it's in the system settings. Enter settings, password, face or fingerprint verification, search 192.168.1.1 , that record is just lying in the list. This is Apple's keychain. My wife's iPhone was found in this way, and it's faster than my Android.

After flipping it out, don’t close it after reading it. I did three things on the spot: Copy the password into a memo, stick a note in the weak current box under the router, and let the new mobile browser save it again. Three movements for five minutes is less worrying than losing it again. Where is the most stable password to remember? I am How to change the three passwords of the router I talked about my homespun method in that article. The note looks rubbish, but outsiders cannot touch your home's weak current box.

There is a pitfall that needs to be discussed separately. After you find out the password, don't rush to type it directly on your new phone - the browser may mix the old password with other entries. Before typing, clear the auto-fill asterisks in the password box and enter it manually. If you are prompted that the password is wrong after entering it several times, don’t doubt that you copied it wrong. I am Locked if you enter the wrong password I wrote in that article that some machines will be locked for several minutes if they are connected incorrectly a few times. The more urgent it is, the more difficult it is to get in. Wait a few minutes, switch to manual input, and do it all at once.

Second stop: Got rid of your old phone? Check whether the browser account has cloud synchronization

My luck is that I still have my old phone. If your old phone has been sold, factory restored, or simply lost, you have to go this route: Cloud synchronization of browser accounts. As long as Chrome has logged into a Google account at the time, the password will be synchronized to the cloud. ； Install Chrome on a new phone to log in to the same account, the one in the password management 192.168.1.1 There is a high probability that he will come back on his own. My colleague lost his phone in a taxi last year and found his password this way. He said it was better than he imagined.

You basically don’t have to worry about changing from iPhone to iPhone. The iCloud keychain follows the Apple ID. When you activate and log in with the new device, the Safari password comes back automatically. When switching from Android to Android, the synchronization range of each account is different. Huawei's password safe and Xiaomi's cloud service have similar mechanisms. When changing phones, use the official "phone cloning" tool to move, and password entries are also included in the moving list.

The biggest disadvantage is switching devices across camps: When Android is replaced by Apple, and Apple is replaced by Android, the keychain and the password library of the Google account do not recognize each other, and this road is basically broken. Just stop it. Don't bother with third-party "password migration" tools. Those things from unknown sources are much more dangerous than losing your password. Go directly to the next stop.

Third stop: Even if your phone is gone, the app tied to the router still recognizes you.

This stop is my favorite because it bypasses the password itself. Now all major brand routers support App binding.: Xiaomi and Redmi use Mijia, and TP-LINK and Mercury have their own apps. After binding, the apps directly manage the router without asking for a management password. The bound authorization follows your account. If you install the App on a new phone and log in to the same account, the router will still recognize you.

The ones I have are tied by the Mi family. Install Mijia on a new phone, log in to your account, click on the router device card, restart, change WiFi password, view device list, everything can be done. In other words, even if you forget your background password, as long as the binding of the App is still there, common operations will not be touched at all. 192.168.1.1 . I hang all the frequently used entrances on the App, and leave the background web page to do the fine work.

Can the background password be retrieved from the App? Most brands cannot, and the App does not display the original text of the password for security reasons. But some models give a harsher trick: Reset the management password directly in the App, or set it up again. This is equivalent to the official "password retrieval without losing configuration", which is much gentler than reset. Check the system settings or device management of your app to see if there is a "reset management password" item. If so, you will make money. It's normal if not, go to the next stop.

Fourth stop: Turn over paper, turn over people and turn over the default value, three zero-cost paths

If the first three stations are empty, it means that the key is really only on paper. first flip of paper: The installation work order, the note affixed to the weak current box, the handwritten label under the router. The habit of installers leaving passwords for customers is more common than you think. When I helped my dad’s house find the password, I went around and found a yellowed piece of paper on the inside of the weak current box cover, with the password written on it.

second turnover: Ask who in the family has touched the backstage. When I helped my mother-in-law change the WiFi password last year, I couldn't remember the password. It turned out that I saved it by relying on a note saved in the memo on my brother-in-law's mobile phone. He even forgot to save it. It’s worth searching through all the memos at home. The key words are just two words.: password. The hit rate on this dirt road is not low. Back up router configuration As mentioned in that article, don’t overestimate yourself in a week.

The third default value: The factory password on the sticker on the bottom case of the router. This path only works in one case - the password has not been changed since the day it was installed. Before doing so, think carefully about whether this is the case with the router at home. The probability is higher for the routers owned by the elders in the family, and I have basically changed everything I have tried. Also note that the old default values ​​​​of admin/admin are no longer used in new machines in recent years. What is printed on the sticker counts? I have detailed it in 192.168.1.1 default password It was dismantled in that article. If you can enter with a sticker password, the first thing you need to do is to change the password and save it. Don’t let this piece of paper become your home’s only line of defense.

If all else fails, do reset. Copy three things before doing it.

At this point, it’s the paper clip’s turn. There is no shame in reset, but the order must be correct: Press and hold the reset hole for about ten seconds, the indicator lights will flash collectively, the configuration will be cleared, and the router will return to the factory state. At this time 192.168.1.1 It is clean. Look at the sticker for the default password. Go in and reconfigure broadband dial-up and WiFi.

There are three things that must be obtained before taking action.: Broadband account and password, what name and password you plan to use for your home WiFi, and whether there have been detailed configurations such as port forwarding and IP binding before. The first two are the hard prerequisites for redialing. I am How to check if I forget my broadband account password? That article wrote five ways to recover. If you can't find your broadband account, don't reset it first. Otherwise, you won't be able to access the Internet after the reset, and the problem has escalated from "can't enter the backend" to "the whole family is disconnected from the Internet." If you lose the third item, you have to replace it again. Fortunately, most people who have reached this point have no choice.

After reset, password management will start from scratch. My three piece set: Set the password to more than 12 digits, set up home WiFi and management passwords separately, and save the new password in three places on the spot (mobile phone memo, note in the weak box, and browser save). After the modification is completed, the devices at home will be reconnected one by one. The TV and camera will not be reconfigured on their own. Please check with me. Device disconnected after changing WiFi password That article's remedy.

ending: Three things you should do on the day you change your phone

After this time, I set a rule for myself and give it to you. On the day I changed my phone, I did three things about the router on the spot.: First, go through the password book of your old mobile phone browser and enter 192.168.1.1 Copy this manually, don’t rely on automatic migration ； Second, confirm that the brand App is logged in on the new phone and the router is still online. This is a guaranteed entry point for you not to touch the password in the future. ； Third, check if the note is still in the weak current box. The three movements lasted ten minutes, and the camera change was completed that night. From now on, no matter how I change, the backstage door can be accessed.

Press the sequence again: After browsing old mobile browsers, checking cloud synchronization, relying on App binding, flipping through paper and people, flipping through stickers, after four stops, 90 people had already entered the background, and only reset when it was no longer possible. If you lose your keys, search your pockets first, and don’t rush to change the door locks. This applies to both routers and doors.
