Log onto your router -- usually by checking the output of ipconfig to find its ip address. The address is usually 192.168.1.1 or for a dsl modem, 192.168.0.1 or something like that. Open this with your browser and you will have a login screen where the administrator is called "admin". Check your docs for the password.
