Your router default credentials are universal and every one can access it who is in your wifi range. Its not at all advisable to just use your wifi and leave settings in the air.
If a user can get access to your wifi network, he can not only use your wifi but he can access all the stored in your computer and take control of your wifi.
It
always better and safe to change the interface credetials. Other wise
somebody who is your wifi zone may steal your wifi and your privacy by
invading in to your network without your notice.

Once you choose wifi adapter (highlighted above), you will see a ip address similar to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2.
Thats your default gateway. Enter that url in your address bar.
Now try again with same user id and password mentioned above. if you still cant access it means your network provider or the guy who set up internet for you has blocked it or assigned a user id and password.
There is also a chance that you might have been already hacked by some one around and they might have changed the access id and password.
Contact your ISP or reset your router rigth away.
