Bypassing Router's DNS Settings

Is there a way to bypass my ISP provided CPE/router's DNS settings? I'd like to use OpenDNS but I am unable to access the administrator acount of the CPE. I tried logging in using the default passwords (admin/admin, admin/1234, etc) to no avail.

"You should be able to do this without any problems.

The process will vary depending on your operating system and your exact configuration. OpenDNS themselves have the best instructions for your computer. Just pick your operating system, and you should be right to go!

When you manually specify a DNS server setting, most operating systems will ignore whatever is set by your modem / router, and use your manual setting instead."
