Some models such as the Huawei HG5576 take you directly to the password section without asking for a username. In that case, you will just need to enter admin. Sometimes the password is password. It shouldn’t be too difficult for you to log in.
Look for the Vodacom router default password on the router label
It’s very easy to find the Vodacom router default password and username. The information is usually printed on a label that’s stuck underneath the device. Lift it up and check.
On MiFi devices, you will notice that the label is inside the battery section. That’s the case for Huawei MiFi devices. You will see that there is the admin password, the admin username and the default I.P.
There may be other information on there as well, such as the default WiFi password. Anyway, with this information, you should be able to log in. Note that this tip applies whether you have a TP Link, Vodafone, Huawei or any other router.
You may need to reset your router if the password has already been changed
Sometimes you may try the Vodacom router password and username given here without success. That usually happens if someone has already changed the password. On most routers, the first time that you log in you are given the option to change the device’s admin password.
A lot of people do this, only to forget all about the new password. It may actually be better to use the same password for logging in as the WiFi password. Or maybe you bought your router used and it already had the password changed. So, what do you do in that case? The solution lies in resetting the device.
All that you need to do is to look for the reset button on the device. On MiFi devices, that’s inside the battery case. On others the power button also serves as the reset button. It will depend on your model.
Press on the button to do the reset. You may need to press for up to 10 seconds. The device will cycle off and on. Wait till the reset is done. Then press you will be able to log in with the defaults that we gave you.
