I suspect that what you want to change is your WiFi password, not your router admin password.

https://help.nowtv.com/article/how-do-i-change-or-reset-my-wi-fi-password

 

When you have done this, turn off your router for 10minutes or so to disconnect everyone, and then turn it on again and log in with your new password, on your TV and other devices.

 

The people who you don’t want on won’t be able to get back in, so even if they know your admin details, they won’t be able to connect to exploit these.

 

 

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Sometimes you need to hold in the small reset button on the rear of the NOW Router for more than 10 seconds.

 

I would try 15 to 20 seconds until the lights on the front of the Router starts flashing.

 

Then maybe give it 10 minutes for the Router to settle down again before trying admin & nowtv has the webpage login details.

 

If that doesn't work, then try another device with a browser on it such has a smartphone or tablet if you have been trying in the past with a PC.
