How to reset the administrator password of the D-Link DP-301P+

There are two steps that we can suggest,

A)

1) Install the psadmin software if you have not already. If you have lost the psadmin software then search for it on the web.
2) Start the psadmin software and click "factory reset".
3) If the software demands a password, try "SYSxxxx", where xxxx stands for the last four digits of the MAC address located on the underside of your server. (Example: if your MAC address were "63 XE 29 44 F2 96", then your password would be SYSF296.)
4) Click yes to confirm the reset.

B)

On the back of the print server you will find a pin hole, insert a paper clip for 30 secs with the print server powered on. All lights will flash. Try to setup the server again.

Hope this helps.

I am looking for a solution as well. Some have said to login as psadmin and use SYSXXXX (XXXX being the last 4 of the mac address: ie. AA:3S:33 the password would be SYS3S33)
This did not work for me.
Even with the PSAdmin software, it requires a password to reset to defaults or to change the current password,
D-Link needed to put a reset button on this unit - this is stupid.
I will post if I find an answer.

Hi
As far as I can remember the default IP is 192.168.0 .10, subnet 255.255.255.0
If this isn't the correct IP address, you'll need to reset the d-link print server Hope this helps

Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to manually reset this without using the web-interface.

However, if it was somehow reset already, the default password for this unit is nothing. They do not use a password by default, so try it without one.

Good luck!

its all in the your site at gmail... you can ask to to see your password by clicking "forgot password" then answer all the question to made... you all the answer

usually by resetting it. pushing the reset button on the back it (tiny hole on the back) for 30 seconds, while plugged in to power,

By default the DP 301P+ does not come with a password. If there is one installed (and you don't know what it is), you can reset the device to factory defaults from the Tools menu in the web configuration utility. Be aware that you will lose all settings in the print server when you do this.

Unfortunately, D-Link doesn't provide a way to reset the password if you lose it. This is from their website:

Forgot Password Unfortunately the D-Link Print Servers are secure and cannot be reset without the password. The unit will have to be sent to D-Link to be reset. Please contact our RMA department at 800-326-1688 M-F 7AM - 6pm Pacific time to return unit (US only). Nick

You may use the PSAdmin software to configure your print server even if you don't know the IP address. The only requirement is that the DP-300U has to be in the same network (subnet) as your PC running PSAdmin. In the PSAdmin, you will then be able to view or change the IP address.

Here is the link to download PSAdmin:

Remember that if you also have forgotten the Admin password, you will have to ship the unit to D-Link in order to have it factory reset.

viaujocposted a brilliant solution which worked for my DP-300U: see http://www.fixya.com/support/t224263-dp301p_psadmin_password_forgoten

To paraphrase,
First try logging in with the following
username: psadmin
password: SYSXXXX
(where XXXX is the last four digits of the mac address)
If it works, you can proceed to reset the password.

Alternatively, you may be able to extract the original password from a configuration backup, if you have one. For details, see http://www.fixya.com/support/t224263-dp301p_psadmin_password_forgoten
