Forgot admin password for D-Link DIR-628. How can I retrieve it?

Push and hold the tiny resessed reset button, located in the rear, near the AC jack (page 9), for 30 seconds or so, release. This will reset to default settings. Reconfigure the SSID and Secutity Key. You may want to write down the password for future use. User Manual: http://www.dlink.com/us/en/support/product/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20628/Manual/DIR-628_Manual_US.pdf

The default username/password combination for this model is:
username: admin
password: (empty)

If you have changed the password and the default settings won't log you in, then you have to reset your router to factory default. There is no way of retrieving the password otherwise.
Note: you will loose all personal settings during this step!

To reset the router:
1. Put a paper clip into the hole on the back of the unit labeled Reset
2. Hold paper clip down for 10 seconds and release.
3. The router will reboot and you will be able to log in with the default credentials.

Follow this instructions:1. connect via hard wired connection using your PC (network cable)2. open your internet explorer or any browser.3. type the numbers 192.168.1.1 on the address bar4. you will be routed to your router's settings, type admin for USERNAME: and admin for PASSWORD.5. look for the basic setup/settings6. look for the wireless settings7. under your SSID comes the WEP or WPA-PSK option8. that is your wi-fi password, then modified it and remember the password you use for you will need to enter it on your pc when you are connecting via wireless connection.you can select ASCII for password. it should be alpha numeric or combination of letters and numbers.9. select save and apply. then you are good to go.

Hi,
First, Access the router configuration utility, open a web-browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Select Admin from the drop-down menu and then enter your password. Leave the password blank by default. (Defaults IP Address, User Name and Password Details are also written on the underside of the router).
Goto Wireless Settings - then Wireless and select 2.4GHz if you want to use the 2.4GHz band or 5GHz band if you want to use the 5GHz band. Save settings and its done.


For further details you may refer to D-Link DIR-628 Product Manual

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.
Hope it helps! Good Luck!

the only way I know to go about changing a password after its been established on the admin account is to restore the modem or router to its factory defaults using the reset button usually about the size of a pin on the rear of its case


Hope this helps

There is a "reset" button on teh back of the router. Use a paperclip, pencil, pen, etc. to depress the reset button for about a count of ten (this should reboot the router) then release. Your router will be reset to factory standards, including a blank password. Any changes you had previously made to your settings will be lost.
