Title: DWR-921 default password not working
Post by: db0511 on August 24, 2016, 12:24:45 PM
Hi,

Today i updated to latest firmware DWR-921_C1_V3.01b06_20160715.  After update I am not able to log in to the router. Even after resetting it using the reset button, default login "admin"  does not work.  Keep getting invalid user/pass error.

Any idea what could be wrong.

Thank you

Default log in for most D-Link products is admin and the password is blank. Be sure to clear any browser caches before and after loading FW or upgrading FW. ink> >FW Update Process (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42457.0)

PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again. (For older generation routers.)

I'm in EU region.
I did follow the instructions on that page but no luck.

Strange thing is that when i type in router IP the login page already has user field set to "admin" .  Not sure if that is normal.

Router works fine but I'm unable to log in to it.

Admin is usually default. Just don't enter a password.

Might check the user manual to see if the default log in maybe different...

No go.

Should be admin

Will have to call support tomorrow to figure out what is the issue or find a way to change firmware.

Thank your for your help

Does this work at all?

new firmware user: admin password: admin

If not, I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.

The default username is admin (lower-case), password (leave the box blank - press delete/backspace to make sure no spaces or hidden characters are there). 

If you updated the firmware but did not reset it, your old password should work.

Reset again (hold paper clip in reset hole for 10 seconds and release) and try admin/blank. Contact tech support in your region if it continues to fail.

Similar issue. Purchased the DWR-921 today. Can't update password from <blank> to a new password.
After "Apply". the page refresehes and takes me to the login scree. Enter <admin> and "new password".
Message "Invalid username or password" appears.
neither <blank> or "new password" works.
Have to reset router. Can log back in with admin/<blank>
Tried 4 ties with different "new password"
Each time same result. it's as though the router is storing a different password to the one I enter!
Firmware:  V01.01.3.005
