Default D-Link Login

August 23, 2009

in Networking

The default D-link router login is admin with no password. With that said, you probably cannot login to your router because D-link requires you to change this default login the very first time you login to set it up. If you have a router you setup a long time ago and have forgotten its password and settings, you will likely have to reset the router to its default configuration and redo the password.

If you look at the back of your D-link router, you will see a pin-hole. Inside that hole is a button that resets the router. To perform the reset, insert the end of a paperclip in the hole and depress the button for about ten seconds. Leave the router on during this time. It will reboot by itself and the WAN light will begin flashing on the front. When it stops, the router is reset and you can login to it using your web browser. Just type http://192.168.0.1 and click enter. You should see the D-link login window.  Type admin without a password and you will be presented with the default d-link settings again. Configure a new password and wireless settings and your router will now be accessible again.

I forgot my password for my Dlink. How do I restore so I can get into my router.

There’s a tiny red button on the back. Press it and hold for a few seconds. You should then be able to go to http://192.168.0.1 and use either admin /admin or admin with no password to get in.

I reset my D-link 624, but I still can’t get in. I typed in admin for the user and blank for the password. Tried both admin still didn’t work. Please help.

It should reset. Make sure you hold it in for several seconds. I sometimes even hold the button in, unplug the power while still holding it, then plug it back in. Shouldn’t matter, but I think it’s some kind of voodoo.
