By resetting, did you mean a hard reset? That's where you use a paperclip to push in the reset button and hold it for 30 seconds.

if you did a hard reset of the router, then the pass word will be set to the factory default.

Unplug it, hold the reset button in with a paperclip, plug it back in while continuing to hold the button in, release the button after 30 seconds.
