If you log in successfully, the first screen will ask you to set a new Management Password. This is different from your WiFi password. Create one and save it.
Xiaomi routers sync with the Mi Home app. If the router is linked to a Mi account, you can reset the admin password using the mobile app without losing settings.
Solution: Download the Mi Home / Xiaomi Home app. Log in with your Mi account. Your router should appear. Go to router settings → Advanced → Change admin password.
Open any web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and type:
http://192.168.31.1 or http://miwifi.com
The easiest way to manage the router is via the official Xiaomi Mi WiFi app (available on Google Play and Apple App Store).
A: Yes. The app is easier. Download “Xiaomi WiFi” or “Mi WiFi” app. It will detect the router. If it asks for a password, use the WiFi password from the sticker.
If you are prompted for a password and cannot remember it (or if you bought the router second-hand and the previous owner did not reset it), there is no "backdoor" password. You must perform a factory reset.
