How to reset password if I don't know the original?

Model: Archer C50

Firmware Version:

Hello! I moved into my parents' old house and want to reset the Wi-Fi password, but my mother doesn't have the user name or password that would let me do this. Do I need to reset the router? Will that set it back to "admin/admin" for user and password?

Thanks for the help.

To reset the wifi password and or Admin access password you would simply need to hold the reset button on the router for about 30-seconds. After the router reboots the defaults printed on the label on the bottom of the rotuer will be active till you change them again.
