ALL I did was turn the UPNP settings off, and now the router address won't accept my password "admin". It has been "admin" since I got it and had worked until I touched that setting. Now I am completely locked out of my router, rendering it useless. I have never had and don't have a username for it. I tried typing admin in both, administrator on the top and admin on the bottom, nothing works, and I know I have the correct router IP because it prompts me to enter the username and password
I have a Linksys BEFSR41 V2. I tried resetting it and it won't work. This probably wouldn't work anyways because the username and password are embedded, the reset button is only for connections.
I GOT IT!, what I did was use a firmware update for my linksys, and it reset everything. The button never works for me though

There should be a reset button on the back. Press and hold it for about 10 seconds and it should reset it back to the factory defaults. Then you can go back in and make the password whatever you want.

check here

and see if you can find your particular router. If that default username/password combination doesn't work, then it has been changed.

You can hold the reset button on your router for 10-15 seconds (or until all the lights flash) and it will restore all factory defaults. You'll lose any of the configuration settings you might have set up, but the default username/password will work for sure.

Use the Reset button on the Back of it...HOld it for 10 secs and then wait...you should then be ready to go.
