About Zen
Zen Internet supplies FRITZ!Box routers with its broadband.
Reaching the login page
The admin page on most Zen units answers at http://192.168.178.1. 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 FRITZ!Box login asks only for a password, the FRITZ!Box Password on the label underneath. The zen123456@zen style username is your broadband login, entered later under Internet, not the router login.

Where Zen prints the admin password
If the Zen password has already been changed
There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.
The catch with an ISP-supplied unit is that a reset also clears the broadband credentials, and on some lines the router will not reconnect until those are re-entered. Find them before you press anything, or be ready to ring the provider.
