i needed to fiddle with some electrical wiring in my house, so i turned off the juice at the fusebox.
when i turned it back on, everything fired up, except my echolife (huwaei) hg520s wireless router.
is this normal? how do i fix it? the box turns on, all the lights flash on and off for a bit, then settle down. i can 'see' the router when i type in teh ip address into firefox, but can't get into it because i don't know the username and password (could have sworn they were admin + admin).
er, help?
You shouldn't need to do anything - passwords wouldn't be reset after losing power.
It often takes a short while (couple of mins) for routers to resync their ADSL connection, is that what you mean is/was still outstanding?
what fanylion said
also a quick google reveals admin admin is the default details, so if it dont work then i'd have to assume you or someone else changed them.
assume you tried it with a network cable too?
otherwise you will need to do a hard reset, dont know that router but might be a reset button to default all settings back so admin admin works (check the manual)
obviously then will have to set it all up again..

Is a very good point

It's worth switching everything off, PCs etc. & then hard resetting the router
Give it 5 mins before switching the PCs back on
