Buffalo Default NAS Passwords
This page lists 7 confirmed default credentials for Buffalo equipment, covering 7 models. The pairing you are most likely to need is admin with password.
Entries are reachable over http and https. 6 of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.

About Buffalo
Buffalo produces routers and network storage, and was an early shipper of DD-WRT on retail hardware. The Buffalo records here run across the AirStation and TeraStation lines.
Reaching the login page
The admin page on most Buffalo units answers at http://192.168.11.1. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.
The steps, and what to try when the page will not load, are in our 192.168.11.1 login guide. AirStation routers that came with a setup card log in with admin and the password password, or the one printed on the card. Those without a card use root and a blank password (Buffalo support). In access point mode the WXR-1900DHP moves to 192.168.11.100.
What the Buffalo defaults look like
admin is the username on 4 of the 7 entries. 3 of them shipped with no password at all. Where one is set, password comes up most often, on 2 entries.
6 of them are reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.
If the Buffalo password has already been changed
With the router switched on, hold the reset button until the power light starts blinking, about 3 seconds on the WXR-1900DHP (Buffalo manual). Times vary by model.
A reset clears more than the password. The Wi-Fi name and key go back to what is printed on the label, port forwards and firewall rules are discarded, and any static addressing is lost. Photograph the settings pages first — it takes two minutes and saves an evening.
