Hi, my modem router is on the way out and a friend has let me one to try but it's for use with BT and they are not my ISP. Is there a way of changing the settings or is it a lost cause, thanks.

It's a DGN834N, I've been trying for a while now and got in touch with my ISP and the advisor there reckoned it wouldn't recognise the password because it was a BT dedicated router.
