On this page I show you how to reset the Cisco EPC3925 router back to factory default settings. This is NOT the same thing as a s reboot. A reboot is simply cycling the power to the device by turning the router off then back on again. A router reset takes all the settings on the device and returns every one of them back to the factory default values.

Warning: This reset can cause problems for you if you are unaware of what settings are changed. Please consider the following before you reset the Cisco EPC3925 router:

The router setup IP address, username, and password are reverted to factory defaults.

The Internet name and password are erased and returned to factory defaults.

The ISP username and password are erased. To continue to use the Internet you need to re-enter these values. This is only for those of you with a DSL router. Call your Internet Service Provider for more information.

All other settings such as port forwards or IP address assignments are erased. Make a list of these extra settings you have changed in order to reconfigure them later.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

Once you have decided to reset the Cisco EPC3925 router you should find the reset button. For this router you can find it on the back side of the device. We have circled it for you in the image below:

This is the reset page from your Cisco EPC3925 router.

Taking the tip of an unwound paperclip press and hold this button for a full 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire time you may only reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

This reset erases every setting you have ever changed. If you want to avoid re-configuring the device you should try other methods of fixing your problem.

Login to the Cisco EPC3925

After you have finished resetting this device you should login using the appropriate default values. We have gathered this information for you and included it in our Cisco EPC3925 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Now you need to change that default password you just used to access your router's setup pages. Use our Choosing a Strong Password guide for helpful ideas and tips relating to strong passwords.

Tip: Write this new password down on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of the router for future reference.
