Forgot 10.0.0.1 Admin Password? Reset Steps
Last updated: June 2026
If you forgot your 10.0.0.1 password, first try the real defaults: username admin with the password admin or blank.
Forgot 10.0.0.1 Password? Start Here
First, confirm the page is rejecting your password rather than failing to load. The two problems look different and need different fixes. A forgotten password still shows the login box but bounces you straight back. A connection fault never shows the login box at all, so you would be solving the wrong issue.
- A forgotten password shows the login box and bounces you back.
- A connection problem never shows the login box at all.
If 10.0.0.1 will not open, that is a connection issue, and the page not loading guide handles it. Do you see the login box but it refuses you? Then you are in the right place.
Try the Default Credentials First
Most Piso WiFi boards ship with the same well-known defaults, and many machines are never changed from them. So before anything drastic, try the standard admin login below. If the seller changed the password and did not tell you, no default will work, and that is exactly when a factory reset becomes the right move.
| Field | Common Default |
|---|---|
| Admin URL | 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.1/admin |
| Username | admin |
| Password | admin, or blank (no password) |
Never guess a seller’s PIN or pay anyone who claims a universal password. Reset the device cleanly instead. It is the only legitimate way back in.
Quick Checks Before You Reset
A factory reset erases your settings, so rule out simpler causes first. Often the password is correct but something small blocks it, like a stray space or a saved entry your browser auto-fills. Run through the quick checks below before you reach for the reset button, since one of them may save the trouble entirely.
- Caps Lock and spaces. Passwords are case-sensitive, and a stray space fails silently.
- Autofill. Your browser may insert an old saved password. Type it by hand in incognito.
- The right box. Enter the admin password, not the WiFi password. They are often different.
- A note somewhere. Check your phone notes, receipts, or the box it came in.
How to Factory Reset to Regain Access
If the defaults fail and the checks do not help, a factory reset is the answer. It returns the device to its out-of-the-box state, including the default password. You hold a small reset button for several seconds until the lights blink, then wait for a full reboot before logging in again.
- Find the small Reset button on the board or router. It is often in a pinhole.
- With the device on, hold it with a paperclip for 10 to 30 seconds.
- Release when the lights blink or the device reboots.
- Wait for it to fully restart, usually about a minute.
- Reconnect to its default WiFi, since the name may have reverted too.
- Open http://10.0.0.1 and log in with admin / admin or a blank password.
A factory reset wipes all custom settings, including time rates, vouchers, the SSID, and bandwidth limits. There is no way to recover them, so only reset when you truly cannot get in. Boards differ on button placement and hold time, so if a short press does nothing, hold the full thirty seconds.
What to Do After the Reset
Once you are back in, re-apply your settings straight away. Set your time rates, rename the WiFi, restore bandwidth limits, and re-add voucher codes. The 10.0.0.1 admin login walkthrough lists every setting in order, so you can rebuild the machine the way it was before.
Does the page still reject the defaults after a reset? The reset may not have finished. Hold the button a few seconds longer and wait for a full reboot before trying again.
Setting a Strong New Password
Right after getting back in, set a fresh admin password. Do not leave the device on factory defaults that anyone could guess, especially in a public spot. A short mix of letters and numbers is enough, as long as it is not an obvious word. The pointers below keep it secure without making it hard to recall.
- Use at least 8 characters mixing letters and numbers.
- Avoid
12345678,admin123, or the word “password”. - Do not reuse the WiFi password as the admin password.
- Write it down somewhere only you can reach.
Preventing Future Lockouts
A few habits stop this happening again. Keep the admin password in your phone’s secure notes, and change it the moment you take over a machine so the old owner cannot log back in. If the page loads but loops on a wrong password even with correct details, the issue may be a connection edge case instead.
Our connection refused guide and the can’t access the panel checklist cover those cases. Together they help you tell a real password problem from a connection one.

Frequently Asked Questions (2026)
What is the default password for 10.0.0.1?
On most Piso WiFi boards and routers it is admin with username admin, or a blank password. If those fail because someone changed it, a factory reset restores the defaults.
Can I recover a forgotten 10.0.0.1 password without resetting?
Only if it is still the default (admin/admin or blank). There is no legitimate way to read a custom password back, so a factory reset is the safe recovery path.
Will a factory reset delete my Piso WiFi settings?
Yes. It wipes time rates, vouchers, the SSID, and bandwidth limits, returning everything to factory defaults. Use it only when you truly cannot log in.
How long do I hold the reset button?
Press and hold for 10 to 30 seconds with the device powered on, until the lights blink or it reboots, then release.
The defaults don't work even after resetting — why?
The reset likely did not complete. Hold the button a few seconds longer, wait for the full reboot, then try admin/admin or a blank password again.
