Change Router Password On My Wifi Router - Dir- 300 - Original Desktop Expired.
I think our neighbor is connecting to our wifi. I want to change my router password but the original pc I used has already been replaced by a later model. The admin site of D-Link is not allowing me to log in and I already forgotten the original password after changing it a few times.

If you forgot the username and password for the setup page you will need to reset the router to factory defaults. To do this, follow the instructions below.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 1.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.
