If you did a "factory reset," then yes, it is normal.  Factory reset restores all settings to the defaults including the router admin password and WiFi settings.

If you did a power cycle or simple reboot, then nothing should have changed.

If you have a new(ish) Verizon router, a factory reset will restore passwords to those printed on the label.  You'll need to login to your router to change your WiFi settings.  The WiFI name and password will be on the label along with the router password.

If you need more help post back with the specific model and revisoin of the router.

Good Luck.
