Press and hold the reset button on the back of the router. This will restore your router to factory defaults. This will also restore your password to default: password1 I believe.

Yes, but then the router needs to be reconfigured for fios. I don't know how to do that.

Factory default is "password", not "password1". "password1" is what was frequently used in the past by install techs when they logon to the router for the first time and are prompted to change it.
