Hope this helps.

The following reset procedure will completely restore the default settings
on your D-Link device including your password. This procedure applies to the
DI-514, DI-524....

Step 1 Locate the reset pinhole on the back of the unit.

Step 2 With the unit powered on, press and hold the Reset button.

Step 3 Hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds.

Step 4 Release the Reset button.

Step 5 The unit will reboot. Allow 20-30 seconds before reconnecting.

Step 6 The device is now at factory defaults.

Note: Do not recycle power during the reset procedure.

The default user name for most D-Link devices is admin and the password is
left blank.

Hi,

I have a DLINK router/wireless device that has a web interface for
managing it via the inside interface. I know the username but the
password was cached and due to some Winblows issues the info is gone.

Would like some advice for tools I can run (on Windows) to attempt to
find the password. I tried brutus but wasn't able to get it to work
properly (or I misconfigured).

When you access the router via web interface a popup comes up asking for
username/pwd. It says "Enter username and password for "DI-514" at
y.y.y.y - Then it has fields for User Name: and Password: - and then OK
or Cancel.


You help is appreciated,
