sorry no i don't know how to retrieve the password, but as a last resort you can reset it back to factory defaults where the user is admin and password is blank. With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button for exactly seven seconds... Go to the full post

Hello: I hired somebody several years ago to set up my Belkin Wireless Router F5D7230-4 router and I set up a password. Years later, I need to get in but do not recall it. Can anyone provide guidance on how to retrieve it? I went on the Belkin site and somehow I ended up on the computer with the "logmein123" people and it sounded very fishy so I did not proceed with them. Thanks for the help!

With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button for exactly
seven seconds, this will restore the router to factory default.

Note: By default the password on the router is left blank, and the
default IP address is 192.168.2.1

then you can set it up how you want including setting a new admin password.

i'd also recommend you checking and installing the latest firmware for it, if it doesn't already have it.
