Disclaimer: Unlocking your router may void your warranty, violate your ISP’s terms of service, and potentially brick (permanently damage) your device if done incorrectly. Proceed at your own risk.

Many ISP-branded routers have a standard user account (printed on the sticker) and a hidden "superuser" account.
