So tie your password to the event that you can easily recall. That way, even when you cannot remember your exact router’s password, recalling the event it is tied to will help.
• Be careful of using CAPS: It is better to all letters in your password appear in small letters all through so you are not in confusion in the future in the case they your password is made of small and capital letters. Routers’ passwords are always case sensitive. That way, if you make use caps and you do not repeat the same thing when entering your password, you will be denied login.
• Do not make it your birthdays: In the need to make your router’s password memorable, please do not make it your birthday, as this is the first guess any hacker or anybody snooping around make to get control of your router. Make sure your password is not the year or day or month you were born. However, if you still feel the need to link your router’s password to your birthday, you can choose some digits of your birthday and combine a bit longer string of digits or alphabets you can easily remember.
• Keep it short: There is no need making your password very long. Keeping it short is the best way to create a very memorable password. The shorter, the better for you. It is always rare to forget a password of four digits or alphabets. So, keeping it short and simple is the best way.
