D-Link Router 524 hard reset problem

regardless whether I hard reset it by pressing the reset hole for 10 secs or follow the manual's 6 steps of hard reset.

the router simply refuses to reset to its factory default setting, kept on prompting for password. neither the old passwd nor the factory default passwd (admin: <blank>) work.

what are my options?

 

i have the same router and had to to the same thing last year

hit reset

login admin or ADMIN i cant remember

password leave blank

inside (once your in) set to default)

let me know what happened

 

done that many times, no go.

thx for the reply though

 

Whenever you want to configure your network or the
DI-524, you can access the Configuration Menu by
opening the web-browser and typing in the IP Address
of the DI-524. The DI-524 default IP Address is shown
at right:
&#56256;&#56452; Open the web browser
&#56256;&#56452; Type in the IP Address of
the Router (http://192.168.0.1)
&#56256;&#56452;
Note: if you have changed the default IP Address assigned
to the DI-524, make sure to enter the correct IP Address.

Type admin in the User
Name field
Leave the Password blank
Click OK

done all that & more.

no go. *shrug*

i hard reset it several times, using both methods (one for the A, C, D , E HW rev, the other for the B HW rev)

the passwd just couldnt be reset to <no passwd>

wrote to DLINK US and talked to DLINK Hong Kong. both sites have not been able to come up with any substantial solution.

so i went out and bought myself a ZYXEL P-320W. hehe

 

ok
