BT Default Usernames & Passwords
The default credentials needed to login to your BT router

The majority of BT routers have a default username of admin, a default password of ''randomly generated'', and the default IP address of 192.168.1.254.

These BT credentials are needed when doing a login to the BT router's web interface to change any settings.
Since some of the models don't follow the standards, you can see those in the table below.

Below the table are also instructions on what to do incase you forget your BT router password, need to reset your BT router to its factory default password, or the password reset doesn't work.

Your BT router should now be reset to its brand new factory settings, Check the table to see what those are (Most likely admin/''randomly generated'').
