If that doesn't work and you still need to get in, the only course of action is to press the Reset button on the router. You should be very aware of what you are doing there, you may lose vital settings to connect to the internet so make sure you have searched on Google for instructions, downloaded them, contacted your Internet Service Provider in advance to get reminders on any settings you may need. @Ken - the default password may be on the bottom/back of the router or in the documentation that came with it.

Most wireless routers default to no security or at best WEP. WEP is broken and effectively useless - so change to WPA-PSK (or WPA if you have the necessary bits and pieces). Unfortunately, many WiFi enable devices (including quite a lot of mobile phones and home media systema) don't appear to support encryption other that WEP... Ah well.
