When choosing a port for utorrent, it is advisable you choose a number in the dynamic/unregistered range. If you pick a number below that range, it is not likely that something bad would happen (since there are lots of numbers to choose from anyway and the probability of picking a number that causes problems isn't high). But be aware that the lower number ranges are usually used by other services (e.g. port 80 for HTTP requests as mentioned by psyren), and if you happen to be using any of them you would want to avoid port number clashes.

Try this page for a list of default router passwords. If it doesn't work, you likely need a router reset.

If you don't want to have to manually set an open port, just make sure your router supports UPnP, and configure uTorrent to use UPnP as well. Although the security gurus will probably have a few heart palpitations at the very thought of this suggestion...

Ultima:
I reseted my router, and manually added the port that was given to me via utorrent -> 62371
Is that a port I should avoid? I couldn't find the "dynamic/unregistered" list in the link you gave me, only the Dynamic and/or private ports: which is between 49152–65535, which mean the port I'm using would be located here?

Anyway,After I opened it my warning sign turned into "OK, your network is working like it should" so problem solved on that point. Thank you guys :)

But according to the port, is that a port that I could stick with?

Yes, that's the range you want.

A little off topic:
Wasn't it that Windows XP itself had a port connectivity limiting feature or some such thing that restricted the number of incoming connections to stop the spread of malware? I thought I remembered reading about that somewhere. I do know that many of my own port forwarding problems seemed to resolve themselves when I started using the Windows 7 RC.

Yes.
