If you have been trying to login to the Huawei B683 MTN unsuccessfully it might be time to consider a reset. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults. This is not a reboot. When you reboot a device you are only cycling the power to the unit.

Warning: A reset like this one is a big step and shouldn't be taken lightly. We strongly recommend considering other options first. Take a look at the following list:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted back to the original factory defaults.
  • Any other settings you have changed such as port forwards or IP address changes are also erased.

In the image below, the reset button is on the back side of the router. I circled it for you in red. Now locate the same button on the router you are resetting.

First, be sure the router is turned on. Then take a paperclip and straighten it out a bit. Take this paperclip and press the reset button/pinhole for about 10 seconds, until the five indicator lights are flashing. This begins the reset process. Most routers have made it so if you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Don't forget that this reset is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of this router. We strongly recommend trying other options before you continue with a reset.

Login to the Huawei B683 MTN

After you've successfully reset the Huawei B683 MTN router you'll need to log into it. Do this by using the factory default username and password. We have these provided for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Defaults not working for you? It might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Following that you'll need to set a new password for it. This can be anything you want, however bear in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Keep from losing your new password by writing it on a slip of paper and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
