Cisco Default Passwords (Valid December 2022)

If you don’t see your Cisco device or the default data below doesn’t work, see below the table for more help, including what to do. [2] The Cisco Valet M10 & Valet M20 routers are supported by Linksys. Cisco owned Linksys from 2003 through 2013 and branded the Valet routers with the Cisco name and logo. See our Cisco Valet M10 & Valet Plus M20 default password and support info page for more details.

Next Steps If the Cisco Default Login or IP Above Doesn’t Work

If the default username or password doesn’t work, it means that it’s been changed. Unlike residential routers, the Cisco business and enterprise-class routers and switches have specific password recovery features, meaning that a full factory reset (the typical reset-a-password process) isn’t required. If you can’t locate the password recovery steps for your device, Cisco Support has a PDF manual for every device, which includes help in this area, too. Most network devices operate with the default IP address they come with but routers, and especially switches, in business and enterprise environments, are often changed when installed. You should know how to identify network hardware IP addresses on a local network if the default IP isn’t working.
