Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Check also at the bottom or back sticker of your router. The most common default username is admin, and its most common password is either admin or password.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even if you swap out your old router with a new one, your devices won’t know the difference as long as the network name is the same. In order for your devices to automatically connect to your new router though, you’ll also need to use the same password.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of default passwords include admin, password and guest. When vendors use these single default passwords, they can be easily found online through search or on websites that provide compiled lists. This makes them a large security risk if left unchanged.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Default Password Is Well-Known It’s recommended to change the password after you get in the first time. If you don’t change the password to your router, then anyone with access to it can change its settings and even lock you out. This is a similar idea to a lock on your house.
