How To Reset D-LINK Router Password

It is always a good practice to reset your D-LINK router password the first time you use it or when you want to secure it so that only you can access it.

To reset the admin password of your D-LINK router

  • Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the router in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.
  • The default username is admin and the password is blank (nothing). Click OK.
  • Click the Tools tab and then click Admin to the left.
  • To change the administrative password, enter a new password in the Admin Password section.
  • Click Save Settings to save the settings.

To reset the Wi-Fi password of your D-LINK router

  • Type your router’s IP address —192.168.0.1— into your Web browser.
  • Login to the router using the correct username and password.
  • Once you access the Web configuration screen, click “Setup” in the top menu.
  • Select the “Wireless Settings” link on the left-hand side.
  • From there, click on the “Manual Wireless Connection Setup” button.
  • Scroll down to the field representing my “Pre-Shared Key”. If you don’t see it, select a security mode from the dropdown menu at the bottom of the screen first.
  • Type in a new password.
