Easily. I can do that from any device with wi-fi and a web browser. The default log-in credentials for the web admin page for the router should be included in the user manual or quick start guide. SSID is usually the manufacturer's name and wi-fi is generally not encrypted by default.

On a cable modem, we don't need a username/password in order to connect. We call the cable company and give them the MAC address of the cable modem which they then activate with their service.

Again, doable with any device with wi-fi and a web browser.
