HOW TO RESET YOUR LOST SMILE MIFI ADMIN PASSWORD:

RESETTING YOUR LOST SMILE MIFI ADMIN PASSWORD:

I recently got a Smile MiFi from a friend. Unfortunately he has forgotten the admin password to the web interface. How can I reset it to a new password?

ANSWER:

It really depends on the type of  MiFi you have. Since you did not attach the image am going to give you possible options.

If it is a Franklin MiFi, simply remove the back and you will see the reset but at the top left corner.

With the MiFi2, check near the simcard slot. you will see a hole through which you will press using a pin to reset it to defaults.

To access the admin interface, go to 192.168.10.1 when connected to the MiFi. you will be able to change the WiFi SSID and password.

Your Smile Mifi or CPE's SSID is that name that people see (under available networks) when they wish to connect to your Wifi (wirelesss) network.

The default password to your SMILE 4G LTE hub Wireless / Wi-Fi is located just under the device.

To change from this default password to a preferred one:

Follow these steps to change SMILE 4G WiFi password and SSID

Connect to the SMILE Wi-Fi using the default password; its Wi-Fi Key (WPA/WPA2) located under the modem

Launch your browser

Open http://homerouter.cpe/ or 20192.168.8.1 or 192.168.1.1

Login using your credentials. If you've never changed them then you can type anything as Username and Password
(NOTE that you may never be able to change the username in future so type carefully)

When logged in, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Basic Settings

Under Wi-Fi Basic Settings, you can change your SSID, Hide SSID broadcast, Wi-Fi password and other settings

Click Apply when you're done
