When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a paper clip or something sharp)
While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the reset button for 30 seconds

Default username: admin
Default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Note: If you are using the default settings you should change them to increase security and prevent unathorized access to your network.

Make sure you are connected to the router's network, either by Wi-Fi or ethernet cable.
Open your browser and visit http://192.168.8.1
You should be prompted with a login dialogue.
Enter the username: admin and if it requires a password, leave it empty or try with admin/password
Note: If you have already changed the password use that instead.
You will now be logged in. If you haven't yet changed the defaul password, we recommend that you change it first thing you do after logging in.

If these instructions don't work for your router, you can always try a factory reset to get the default, or try some other common Adaptec credentials, as they can usually be shared across models/variants.
