Hi All
I lost my username & password. But I cannot remember my username or password to my internet connection in the router.
How can i sniff out the username & password without resetting the router?
If someone canm help with this duff up.

You can't. To sniff it would mean that someone else has the username/password, and you would sniff it out of the network traffic to the router. Since you don't KNOW what it is, you can't sniff it. You'll probably have to reset the router, then reset your username/password, and restore the backup of the config that you saved when you configured the router. You did backup the settings, right? :)

How can i backup it?
The manual should have directions for backing it up. It depends on the manufacturer, but most if not all of them have a menu option to backup the config, once you're able to access (login) to it.
who is the router provider?
You would be able to backup the router's configuration by logging into the router , if at all it has a user interface , otherwise through the console.
To log into the router you need log in credentials. :)
if you will able to reset your router only after that you can create backup

So , They Should Ask For The Username And Password.. Both Of Them Should Be : admin

So You Should Reach The Site Which Say Linksys On The Left Right Corner...
You Should See Big Words (E.g) (Setup And Wireless And Many More)

They Would Ask For The Wireless Network Mode.. The Wireless Network Mode Should Be Shown On On Router Or On Your Box Of Your Router...

The Wireless Channel MUST BE (6-2.437GHz)
Wireless SSID Broadcast MUST BE Enabled If Not You Cannot Find Your Router SSID When You Search For Wireless Network
