@Richard_T123

If you have only one input box then that's the router password filed. If you can't remember the password you set I am afraid that you'll need to reset the device - method 1 and re-configure from scratch.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
