If you have been trying to login to the Huawei E5372_-_Zain router's interface and been unable to do so it might be time to consider a reset. A reset like this is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset a router you take all the settings and revert every one of them back to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the Huawei E5372_-_Zain router is a big step and should be carefully considered before continuing. We recommend creating a list of all the possible settings you have changed in the past such as:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The network name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your ISP for these details.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? If so you need to write them down as well.

Reset the Huawei E5372_-_Zain

Unfortunately we don't have an image to show you of the reset button. It can be located anywhere on the device. It typically looks more like a small pinhole than an actual button.

Once you have found the reset "button" the first step is to make sure the router is on. Then take a straightened paperclip and press down on the button/pinhole for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you intended.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router during this process. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Don't forget that this reset is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the past. Please exhaust your other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset.

Login to the Huawei E5372_-_Zain

After the reset is complete you need to login to see if the reset was effective. When you login to the Huawei E5372_-_Zain router interface make sure to use the default values. We have found the factory default IP address, username and password for you. Click this Login Guide link to take you to the proper page.

Tip: If the default values didn't work it is possible you didn't hold the reset button down long enough. Try again but hold the reset button down a little longer this time.

Change Your Password

The next step involves changing the router's default password. This password is what protects your router settings. Follow our Choosing a Strong Password guide in order to create a strong password for your router.

Tip: Want to avoid losing this password? Try writing it down on a piece of paper and attaching it to the bottom of the router.
