You can usually reset routers to the factory default. Look on the back and see if there is a "Reset" button, or a pinhole. Unplug the device, then hold this "reset" button down while you power it up.. Keep holding for 10-30 seconds until the LEDs flash to indicate change. Your router should be reset to the factory default settings after that, so you will have to reconfigure it.
