I was trying to log into my friend's router setup page. However, the password field respond in a such a way that when I type in one character, 3 black circles appear in the field. My friend said his friend edited the setup page to confuse people. So, where is this setup page stored, is it on the router? How do I go about changing it back to normal, ie. one character per circle?

Thanks a lot folks.

Are you sure your friend didn't change this through the router's regular web-based configuration UI? – meagar Dec 19 '10 at 3:06

Hold down the "reset to factory default button" on the back of the router. It's a very inset tiny button you might need a pencil to press. Once you find it press it for 5 full seconds then release.

WARNING: This will nuke any customizations you have and reset it to "out of the box"

have you tried flashing the firmware of the router?
