Router Help?

Ok, stay with me here, cause I feel pretty stupid.  Months and months ago, I set up a D-Link wireless router at my parent's place.  I lived at a friend's for a while after that, so it didn't concern me, but now I'm back and need to use it again.

The problem is, I can't login.  I go to my router's IP in IE, and it gives me a password prompt.  I put in admin and leave pass blank as per the manual (I'm real lazy, and didn't think I even changed this when I set it up) but it didn't work.  Now, stupid as it may be, I only use two passwords for everything--no matter what.  It keeps things simple; I can change if I need to, but it's easy to deduce which it is if I forget.  Unfortunately, it's neither of these.  I tried all combos of capitalizations, etc.  And I CAN log in as a user, but that's useless as I can't change settings.

So, anything I can do as far as resetting the pass or getting in?  Once again, I know I'm retarded for not writing this shit down or something, but I really need to know what my options are.

You left the admin password blank? On a wireless router? Brilliant!

Or you just set it and then forgot about it. Are your 'default' passwords long? It may be that your router only allows short passwords so the end got cut off. I've had that happen to me.

If you want to do a hardare reset then you'll have to hunt down the manual. If you can't find it then dlink should have a pdf of it somewhere on their site.

On mine there's a little "reset to factory defaults" button.

No, they're not long at all, around 9 characters...and oddly, when I log in as user it shows the admin and user passes to be very long, around 14-17 characters.

There's a reset button on mine as well.  I pushed it and all the lights flashed green, then went back to normal.  Then I tried logging in again, and no dice.  Hmmm...

>around 14-17 characters
Don't believe that the number of asterisks in the password field directly equates to the number of characters in the password. Sometimes the length is obfuscated as well as the content.

Anyway, for resetting some routers you have to hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds, or hold it down while powering on. Check/download your manual.

Some router have 0000 as a standard password. Try it.

DLink Routers should be admin/admin

I set my usual CFLAGS as password for my router, now I can't access it :(
