Question

I have bought an used IOT operational dashboard router and as i expected it is asking me for access verification from the old owner , how can i do a reset factory to enable a new username and password? i have tested with username: cisco password:ciscoand it did not work.

Look in the Cisco Router documentation, and do a full hardware reset.

This will give you a chance to enter a new user name and password. This will work when you otherwise cannot log in.

This is a universal way to fix this issue.

Here is the reset documentation.
