HOW TO RESET THE D-LINK ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.

Using a D-Link wireless router, you can connect all of the computers in your business to the Internet without the hassle of long cables and cords. The D-Link wireless router also enables you to connect the computers together on a network, allowing you to share files between machines. If you created an administrator password when you set up the router, you need to enter this password whenever you want to change the settings. If you forgot the password, though, the only way to reset it is to reset the router to its factory default state.

Follow the steps below and you will be find.

Resetting the Admin Password

Press the reset button on the side or back of the router with a paper clip or other thin object.

Step 3

Open your Internet browse and type "192.168.0.1" without quotes into the address bar. Press "Enter."

Step 4

Type "admin" in the login ID box. Do not type anything in the password box. Close the window to apply the changes.
