It's easy to sort out do a google for your router user instructions then find out how to a factory reset then use the default password to access then input your user name and password so you can connect to the internet.

Suze,

It's the make and model of the router that Leo's asked you for, not the laptop. If you give her that, I'm sure she'll be able to help you out.
