Alright I have had it with this router!!!! >:(
Here is my issue:
I had my DIR-645 HW Rev A1, FW 1.00. Today I went to the DLink website to download the latest firmware version, v1.04b10. I uploaded it and waited for the firmware update to complete....
THEN when it finished, I went to the login page and the following javascript pop-up greeted me, word for word:
"password is not default(Admin/blank),should not run here."
What is that even supposed to mean?! Now my original password doesn't work anymore, blank does not work, I've tried "dlink", "password", "default", "admin"....... I've reset my router about 20 times. Yes, I've held the button down for 10 seconds. It is supposed to log me in with a blank password after the reset but it does not!! And that stupid javascript message keeps popping up after the resets!! Am I supposed to go to another URL other than 192.168.0.1?? Is there something that I am missing? Did the default password change?
And after a bit of googling I found that the latest firmware was not actually b10 but b11!! Why does dlink still have b10 as the default firmware download?!
HELP I need to fix this issue or I have to buy a new wireless router!

3rd Party Security Software Configurations
- Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
- Turn off all devices accept for one wired LAN PC while testing.
- Disable any downloading client software managers, i.e. Torrents or similar.
Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9 or 10, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.

Hi. First of all my mother language is not English so please excuse my mistakes. Sadly there is no German D-Link forum so I try to explain my problem here.
I have got the same problems like the user 'kbye'. I bought the D-Link DIR 645 router and upgraded the firmware using a wired LAN connection to fw 1.04 and installed the German language pack. After doing so I wasn't able to login in anymore. There always pops up a javascript message telling me
"password is not default(Admin/blank),should not run here."
When I close the pop up my password does not work anymore. The username is a not editable "Admin" like before but the password doesn't work. I tried everything and rechecked like 100 times. I tried a blank password and everything else imaginable. Resetting the device by pressing the hardware button on the bottom does not help, the javascript message still pops up. The strange thing is that the UI is still German what lets me conclude that the router did not really reset but I tried like every single period of time pressing that button on the bottom.
Is there anything I can do? I am really annoyed and just want to log into that router.
For your information: I am using Windows 7 with the newest FF and did disable every addon. I disabed all anti virus programs and the firewall. I really tried everything I could imagine.

- Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?
So Admin and using no PW (blank) fails to log in? Using the old PW with Admin fails too?
I would try this:
Emergency Recovery Mode (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=44909.0)
Use the lasted FW for your region and re-apply v1.04 from the German D-Link web site. Do not load any language packs or saved config files.
See if you can get the main FW file to load using IE this time. Follow the instructions to get Recovery mode. IF IE wont load then try FF.
If you can get it to load correctly, use IE to atempt to log in after it's come back to ready. Admin and blank PW should all thats needed.
Keep us posted....

First of all: Thank you for the very very fast respond :)
Now comes the strange thing: Using IE the UI accepts the old password. This is quite nice. Now I can access my router again.
But there are still some questions: I was not able to enter that emergency mode. In fact I think that the reset button is maybe not working on this device? The next thing is: Why the hell does the UI only work with the Internet Explorer? I would really appreciate if I could access the UI from every browser that is used nowadays beacause I normally use Mac OSX and only booted Windows for installing the router. I have to say that the experience installing that router is not really user friendly. Other routers I used were much easier to set up and maintain.
Nevertheless I appreciate your help alot!

I presume there could be a compatibility issue with FF maybe? Seems odd. I use Safari and Opera on my Mac and IE on my Windows PC for management of any of my routers. Even on the 645 here.
Usually FF is pretty good and works well...
Possible that Recovery mode isn't supported on this router, I'll look in to it. Maybe a configuration issue as well.
The web pages on the routers are tested and kept up to date with most browsers however changes are made to the actual browsers that may not be tested at the Browser level so something may escape testing and vs versa. It's hard to keep up to date between Mfrs. ::)
I normall use IE or Safari for any FW updates and management anyways, FF and Opera are 2ndary for me and use of making minor changes and viewing.
For doing FW updates please keep this in mind for future needs:

On Windows the only browser that works for me on DIR 645 FW 1.04 b11 is IE. On Mac OSX 10.9 it works only with FF, Safari does not work. If I use those browser the UI just says that the password is not correct. Is Safari on Mac OSX 10.9 working for you on DIR 645 FW 1.04 b11? Maybe we have different Safari settings? Safari is my standard browser so it would be nice if it would work for Safari :)
-
The last time I worked with the 645, I was working however I can't remember if I was using 10.9 or 10.7 since my Mac is dual boot OSX versions. Up to this point it has been working for me here. I'll check again and confirm...
All my browser are using default settings an no add-ons.

OK, so I checked this evening with my MBP using 10.9 and Safari connected to my DIR-645 loaded with v1.04...I can log in to the Admin account with out issues and navigate all the menus.

Now I disabled all plugins and add-ons. It still doesn't work. It just says that the password or username is not correct (the username is set to "Admin" and not changeable like it should be). That javascript message does not pop up anymore but it didn't pop up even before. That message only pops up when I reset the router and try to log in before configurating the router and setting a password using Safari.
Do you have any other clues?
-
You don't have any saved PWs in Safari do you?
So if you use FF to clear the PW, make it blank. Save settings and reboot, close FF and then open Safari, can you log in then?
-
Also are you fully exiting or quiting Safari and your apps before reopening them again? Just clicking on the red dot doesn't fully stop the app. Just closes the window however the actual program is still running the back ground. I like to hit CMD-Q on the keyboard to fully close the program...

I know that this is a very old post, however I recently stumbled upon it searching the error message 'default password should not work here'. I wanted to comment that the suggestion above helped me solve my problem. It was a saved password in Chrome that was giving me grief. Upon switching to Firefox, where I did not have a password saved, I no longer saw the error and was able to successfully log into my router.

Hey all, I wasnt able to find the new post button on this layout as it is different from the forums I remember here 2 years ago when I last needed help with my dir-645...
I am posting here as this is the problem I am running into, I have sone a factory reset with the paperclip but the password to log in did not reset, and the router tells me this when i go to log in for the first time. I cannot remember the password I had on it. I had put a password on there so people in the area if they did get on our wifi, couldn't take it over and screw my parents while I was out west and pretty sure i wrote it down for my parents but cant find it. Now that I am home I want to use the router in place of the one that came with the new Rogers wifi modem (hitron cgn3) as the dlink was way more stable for xbox live and having many more than two devices connected to it (3 cellphones, 4 laptops, 2 tablets and my xbox live, now always all at the same time).
any idea what I can do to force it to reset to the default blank password?

When doing a factory reset, the PW should be cleared and it will be a blank PW.
When doing a factory reset or restore of the config file, the PW will be back until a new PW is configured.

Don't use it. I have Microsoft edge though since I am on Windows 10. But chrome should work. I can get into the modem (hitron cgn3) no problem, when it wants to work, it's fragile And temperamental.
-
Well if you can try FF and see. Since your on older FW, there will be some compatibility issues with Edge and probably chrome. 1.03 is pretty old and hopefully if you can get up dated to v1.06 then Chrome and maybe Edge would work well. I don't recommend using Chrome or Edge. IE11 is still on 10 and FF works well.
Let us know if FF works, the we can try one more way to get in.

Just for the hell of it I tried the Microsoft browser and i am staring at the first page of the wizard. No login box. I should be able to set things up until I goto plug it into the modem in he basement, as I am upstairs with the laptop.
However I am going to update the firmware while I have the chance.

Turns out it was a fluke. After moving downstairs and restarting the modem I am now stuck at the login window again. :(

If you disconnect the router from the modem, can you get logged in at all with just a PC and the router alone?
Please try with FF and IE11.

Installing firefox, found IE... Thought it was replaced with edge. Good to know. I'll try when the install is done and I can turn the wifi back off on my laptop... Because both modem and dlink use the same 192.168.0.1 address, I can't leave both hooked up. Eventually if this dlink gets setup I want to use it as the router for the modem (once i figureout how to bridge it and bypass the builtin wifi) or as a access point for it to get better signal on the top floor of the house, moving the modem doesn't work for one of the computers in the house as it has issues with their wireless adapters that I cannot fix (Toshiba laptop running vista, enough said)...
-
You can change the 645 to use 192.168.1.1 if you can get in or get the ISP modem bridged.
What Mfr and model is the ISP modem?

It's a hitron cgn3.
I cannot use it to access the FTP address for the 106 firmware... It won't go. Where else can I get the firmware?

Ok. First though, I cleared my cache a d got the wizard up again with edge, and it can't connect tobthe internet, the cable is plugged into port 1 on The hitron cgn3, and the internet port on the dlink.
I have started to do the wizard again and don't want to cancel it, the wifi is setup to the current t network info so I don't have to change the computers and devices, and renames the existing network in the hitron to avoid issues...
-
Theres probably a conflict between the ISP modem and the 645 using the same IP address of 192.168.0.1..
-
Sent file, disconnect the 645 from the ISP modem after you get the file to your PC then be LAN wired to the 645 and then try to update the FW. You should be able to log in after a factory reset is performed using Admin and then hit enter. There will be no PW. Go in and manually update the FW. Do one more factory reset of the 645, skip the wizard and change the IP address of the 645 to 192.168.1.1 to avoid the conflict with the ISP modem until you can get the ISP modem bridge. Then reboot all then reconnect to ISP modem. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
-
Done the update, and am now doing the reset through the system page. I set the password before the reset before flashing the firmware, so I can get in. I will reset it again.
How do I find the address for the router from the modem?
I changed the 192 address for the modem to 1.1 instead for the time being.
-
Look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.#.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
-
I seem to have gotten it working, I am restarting the laptop and am posting from the connection on my phone.
I have not changed the hitron setup other than the 192.168.1.1 address for it. I may not have to turn off the wireless there and bridge it if it's working.
I still need to get Xbox live setup.
-
Ya if you haven't bridged the ISP modem, disable all wifi on the ISP modem.
Review the XBL sticky for xbox. You may see moderate NAT since your in a double NAT condition currently. I hope the DMZ will help with OPEN NAT though. Or until the ISP modem can be bridged fully.
Glad you got it working. ;)

i am on the xbox post in the section talking about advancedQOS, none of those images linked, even load, also my qos screen looks a bit different than what is mentioned. in the meantime I have the routers ip on the modem's software in the DMZ and have deactivated the 5ghz network for the time being. I am keeping the 2.4Ghz one up so I can get in if i need to fix something, I also have renamed it to avoid conflicts (even though its ip is now 1.1).
-
I would disable the 2.4Ghz on the ISP modem as it is too close to the 645s. Enable 5Ghz though since the 645 doesn't have 5Ghz support.
I think I need to update that sticky. I think I was using a picture repo that became a pay site so I removed the links.
See if you can follow the information and input the reserved IP address for the xbox from and to sections for local IP address range, remote should be 0.0.0.1 thru 255.255.255.254 and then set protocol to both and ANY for port if I can remember correctly. Save settings then reboot. While the router reboots, do a factory reset under the networking settings this is for a 360, turn off after the reset, then back on. Then check NAT.

Would that work for an Xbox one? The router likes to kick me out and back to the login before I can save changes, so for now I have disabled the QoS stuff.
-
Yes.
Ya there's a 3 minute time out I think on D-Link routers so you kind of have to work fast. Let me know if you need help. Maybe I can remote in and set it up with you using teamviewer.com (http://teamviewer.com)
I'll try and re-update the QOS sticky to show the 645 QoS page for XBL.> Updated QoS sticky. ;)
-
Well, this is interesting, I turned on qos with the settings enabled for Xbox, though not the Xbox one specific settings.
Now I cannot login to the router again. I didn't put a password on it after resetting it the other day. Now it's acting like there is one. But my network settings are working still.
-
How did you set up QoS? Post a picture?

Can't get back in to get a pic. I followed the settings for a single Xbox with the 0.0.0.1 and 255.255.255.254 and both set to All.
-
And was the Local IP address set for just the Xbox?
Seems odd that enabling QoS is causing a log in failure on the UI.
Different PC experience same thing?

I was having the login issue on both my phone earlier and laptop... I turned off the router and turned it back on after 10 seconds and it was still givinge issues and then about 10 min later for some reason it started working fine again.
I can get back in without needing a password. Weird.

I have done that as best I can. I turned off everything I could find that was enabled in that list. Set the ap ip to .200, the end of the range for the 645 router's addresses...
It has boosted he signal strength a bit but according to he network gadget from addgadgets.Com it's jumping anywhere from 60% to 80%... Whereas before it was anywhere from 40%-60%
I set the wireless on the 810l to the same networkand password on the 645... Haven't done anything with the 5g except turn it off yet but the password was updated the same.
-
Are you wanting both the radios on the 645 and 810L to operate at the same time? If so, then you need to place the 645 on channel 11 and the 810L on channel 1.
Farthest channels apart as possible. 5Ghz can be anywhere or unless other neighboring 5Ghz are around, try channel 48.

Still if your going to be using both radios for 2.4Ghz, keep the channels far apart.

You can circuvent the error "password is not default(Admin/blank),should not run here." by using a private window or by invoking "clear cookies and data for this site". This is a bug in the web manager, for sure, but I didn't investigate whether this is caused just by obsolete BASIC-AUTH credentials saved in the browser or by some custom auth cookie.
