If you’re having trouble accessing 192.168.0.1, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Check your router’s IP address. It may be different from 192.168.0.1
   
2. Ensure your device is connected to the router.
   
3. Try to reset your router if you can’t remember the password.
   Please Note: With a factory reset, all settings will be reset to the default settings, and it will lose all/any connectivity settings done before. Should be only done as the last resort.

If none of these work, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or router’s customer care for support.

Changing the Wireless Router Password

For security reasons, it is advisable to change the default password of your router. Here is how you can change the wireless router password:

1. Login to your router using 192.168.0.1 as explained above.
   
2. On the router settings interface, find the ‘Wireless’ or ‘Security’ tab in the router’s admin panel.
   
3. Look for ‘Password’, ‘Passphrase’ or similar fields.
   
4. Enter your new password and save the changes.

Recovering IP Address Username and Password

If you’ve forgotten your router’s username or password, you can recover it by resetting your router. This will revert all settings, including the username and password, back to default. 

Note: You will also lose all connectivity settings done before, and hence all connections will have to be established again.

To reset your router:

1. Find the reset button. It is usually a small, recessed button at the back of the router.
   
2. Use a bent paperclip or pen to press the button, hold it for 10-15 seconds, and then release.
   
3. After resetting, use the default username and password to log in.

List of Possible Username and Password

Here are some common default usernames and passwords used by popular router manufacturers:

S.No.	Router	Username	Password
1	Netgear	admin	password
2	D-Link	admin	admin / blank
3	Linksys	admin	admin
4	TP-Link	admin	admin

Remember, these are just defaults. If you or someone else has changed the credentials, these won’t work, and you will need to reset your router to revert to the default credentials.
