Default password list

It's a nightmare scenario: you desperately need to get online to check your Facebook account, but you were just given a wireless router by a friend who doesn't know the router's password. And you need to get in so you can configure it for your own use. But you don't have the documentation!

It's a truly horrifying situation which could result in psychological damage due to lack of internet access.

Well, we here at Download Squad don't want to see anyone hurt by a terrible situation like this, so we suggest you go and download the Default Password List, print it out, and put it up on your wall in a prominent position. It needs to be somewhere where you'll never forget about it. We suggest prominently displaying it on your front door, fridge, or any other very visible location.

Okay, go ahead - we'll wait.

Right, now that you're back, you're probably curious what this document is. That's only natural, and you shouldn't feel bad for your questioning feelings. We're not threatened by your curious nature.

The Default Password List is a list of all of the known default passwords for residential routers people use for internet access from home. So, simply reset your mysterious router to factory defaults, look up your router's model number, log in with the supplied credentials, and you should be back in business.
