The Rest Button on a Linksys Router

To reset the router

While the back of your router might look different, the reset button is usually clearly marked. To reset the router to the default password, insert something thin–like a pencil point–and depress the red button. Hold that for a few seconds. The password for your Linksys router should have reverted to its default.
Try accessing it from a machine that is plugged directly into it. The default address is usually http://192.168.1.1. When you gain access to the router then you can change the password to any word of your choice.

Phones Hold Secrets

Thinking of donating or selling the old cellphones stashed in your desk? Before sending them off, be sure to permanently clear the phone’s sensitive data — which could go beyond phone numbers to include passwords, account numbers and medical information.

Commanding a cellphone to erase certain things only deletes the references to the data’s location, warns the Federal Trade Commission. You need a more thorough cleaning to remove the actual information.

Start by removing any memory cards from your phone. Then reset your phone to its factory settings; the process varies by phone but can involve changing your personal-identification number or reprogramming the phone through your computer.

Check your phone manual or call your service provider for details.

Once your phone is clean, you may be able to sell it, or donate it to a nonprofit or charity group that may refurbish or reuse it.

The Environmental Protection Agency and US Postal Services has information on recycling devices.
