Have you tried to login to the Hama 62726 router and been unable to do so? If this sounds familiar you may need to reset the Hama 62726 router. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you simply cycle the power to the router. When I reset a router you take all the settings and return them to factory defaults.

Warning: This reset is going to erase every setting you have ever changed. We strongly recommend making a list of settings you may of changed in the past. Some of these will include:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi information such as SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. Call your ISP for the details.
  • If you have ever made any other changes to this device write these down as well.

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.

The very first step is to locate the reset button/pinhole. On this particular Hama 62726 router it can be found on the back panel. Take a look at the image below for a more exact location.

This is the reset page from your Hama 62726 router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time you end up only rebooting the device instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed on the device. To try and avoid this you need to try other troubleshooting methods before you continue with this reset.

Login to the Hama 62726

After you've reset the Hama 62726 router you'll want to log into it. This is done by using the factory default username and password provided for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Defaults not logging you in? Try holding the reset button down for longer.

Change Your Password

Following that we recommend setting a new password for your router. This can be whatever you like, however bear in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more on this topic be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Prevent yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the underside of your router.
