As someone else has said, for the model Technicolour 4135, the password for user 'engineer', is under the sticker on the back of the router. Took me a while to work out, but all good now. I bought a new Router as the Trooli one was blocking outgoing for certain Apps, which can be fixed by setting the Firewall to 'Low', and the wireless was a bit flakey, as well as the switch being very temperamental if it had a hard power down. Good luck!
