Have a question about a router reset

Qrox · Post by **Qrox** » 18 Aug 2009, 17:37

My friend uses a d-link router. He set his own password on it and after all this time the idiot forgot his password. If he resets the router (using a pin or something) will he loose all his info on the router? (internet connection data, port forwards etc)

Yes, yes he will. No two ways about it.

Yep. reset == lose data. All of it.

Ah damit. Is there no way of recovering the password?

I'm assuming he changed it from the default password?

How difficult can it be to set up the router again after resetting it? Is he a complete idiot?

Yes, yes he is. The only settings that he really wants too keep is his port forwarding settings cause he doesn't them all... sigh

And he changed his password? It's not still set on the default? Have you tried the default username and password?

He has tried using Admin as the username and the password as "password", "admin" and leaving it blank

Try ...

Username: admin
Password: admin

OR

Username: admin
Password: 1234

OR

Send his IP address to Anthropoid, who can do a whole range of weird and wonderful things with IP addresses.

It makes me nervous when you say that he can do weird things with IP addresses. lol. Don't think my friend is going to fall for it though. Think he will be too afraid to give up his IP....

Anthro is a mod. If you can't trust a mod, who can you trust?

Just want to make sure about sending the IP to Anthropoid. If he wants to know his IP should he just go to a site like http://www.ip-adress.com/ or what? I know that this will give you his IP but I believe you need the routers IP

Post by **Stuart** » 20 Aug 2009, 16:25

How is he trying to log into the router? Has he forgotten the router's IP Address too?

Qrox · Post by **Qrox** » 20 Aug 2009, 16:38

My knowledge of routers are pretty limited as well. As far as I know all the routers, default IP's are generally "192.168.0.1" so I'm not sure how Anthropoid is supposed to connect to that address if there are more then one routers with that IP out there...

DarkStar · Post by **DarkStar** » 20 Aug 2009, 16:59

Quite a few routers also use '10.0.0.2'

Ok. Even if that is the case. How is he supposed to find out his router IP then?

This is the internal IP. Anthro needs the external IP
