I changed the password and security code on my router a while ago and now I don't know what they are. I want to change my DNS to faster channels, but can't unless I can access my router.

Hello, other than trying different passwords that you might have use, the only way is either to reset the router by pressing the reset button in the back of the router or if you have the installation disk, reinstall it again and start fresh.
