That should be documented in the manual that came with your router. If
you don't have that, then I'd look for support information or
documentation on the dlink site: http://www.dlink.com/

I initially changed the admin password of my d-link router but I forgot it. Is there way I can recover the password?

admin is the username and password is the default password on my LinkSys Router. I have changed the password but not the username. How do I do that?

Hi Leo,
My new linksys router has the default set up 198.182.1.1 to connect to it. It also uses this same address for IP and gateway. So besides the "admin" password, which I changed to another one it will be possible that any one can get to these routers. I have changed my logon (default is blank) and my password (default is admin) I do not know if I can change the 198.182.1.1. address without getting into other problems with the firmware in the router. It is bad enough that this router sometimes has to restarted because it drops the connection. What are your views on it?

I'm not sure why you would want to change the local IP addresses used from 192.168.x.x - those are visible only on the local side of the router.
