Resetting the router only works if you have access via Wi-Fi (which we've just established you don't have) or physically, utilizing an Ethernet cable. (The Wi-Fi password and router password are not the same-unless you went out of your way to assign the same password to both). That's not possible if you don't know the password for the router.
