Got it! Here is a short, direct version written in the first person (**"For me"**). You can save this in your notes or copy-paste it if you need to ask a friend or a tech support group for help later.

### My Router Info: Forgotten Admin Password on Archer C24

I am currently locked out of my **TP-Link Archer C24** router settings page (tplinkwifi.net) because I forgot the customized **Admin Login Password**.

Because I cannot log in, I am unable to change my Wi-Fi password or block the neighbor who is stealing my internet.

#### My Constraints & Options:

 * **No Factory Reset:** I do not want to do a physical factory reset right now because it will wipe out my current network setup.

 * **Found Wi-Fi Password:** I successfully found my current Wi-Fi password using my **Samsung A35** settings (via the QR code trick), but this *only* lets me connect devices; it does **not** grant me access to the admin control panel.

My Next Steps:

 1. **Try Default Logins:** I need to try entering admin for the password, or leaving it completely blank, just in case the custom password was never actually set.

 2. **The Final Resort:** If the default passwords fail, I accept that **a physical factory reset is the only real fix**. I will have to hold the back **RESET** button for 10 seconds, reconnect using the sticker on the bottom of the router, and set up a brand-new admin password from scratch.
