Forgotten Password on a wireless dlink

**devs** · 21st December 2006

Guys I've got a dLink set up and it works fine however I can not remember what WEP password I set? I was thinking that I may eb able to get to it via directly accessing the router from the browser using the default admin passwords? Yet I can't remember how to get to the router? Whats the IP address or how can I find it? Trying to get a Wii hooked up.

Any thoughts...?

Thanks,

Devs

MY next doors got a dlink router and I get his sometimes on my wifi, his IP is set to 192.168.2.1, He's a bit thick so I imagine he hasn't changed it from default so try that one.

Plug a cable into the router. If your router is using dhcp, open a command prompt and type ipconfig. Type the default gateway ip into a web browser.
Then just reset the password.

Try 192.168.0.1

or 192.168.1.1

go to network connections (in control panel) double click on your wireless connection and got to the support tab. Whatever the gateway IP is in there, type that into your browser. Once there the default pw is normally admin and user admin.

it's going to be pretty hard to connect to the router over the wireless connection when he doesn't know the password to actually connect. He's gonna have to go through wired lan for a start

From memory its 192.168.1.1 into the browser then
User IDadminPassword(none)LevelAdministrator

Thats if you never changed them.In which case the wep key will be on the bottom of the router or on the box.

If you did then you could reset it and start again.

then reset the router to default settings, most routers have a small hole on the back. Find something small enough and reset to when it came out of the factory.

Once reset remember the effing password you set.

Aye I was just about to suggest this. Get a pencil and reset the thing to factory default settings. Job done.
