Is there a button to press to restore the rooter password to its default, in most rooters there should be one or two at least, one is for restoring to manufacturer's default login and configuration, and another for synchronizing with other computers / laptops... Read any instructions or manual that comes with it. Also, in most of them the default login password is actually somewhere on the rooter where serial numbers are. If you can't login to reconfigure it and you did not change the password, it should be visible on it somewhere underneath or wherever.

Disconnect it from the mains, wait twenty or thirty seconds and reconnect it after restoring the password to the default (if you managed to find and press the button).
