D-Link DSL-504 [61/72] Finding the password

DSL-504 ADSL Router User’s Guide

Typing any of the commands listed above and depressing Enter will put the

console interface into that command mode. For example, form the IP address

prompt type ip and depress Enter. This will put the interface into “ip” where it

can now accept ip mode commands. While in ip mode or any other command

mode you may again type help or help all to list the commands available in that

mode. You will see the command appear after the IP address and before the

“greater than” sign. If you type help in ip mode you would see a menu such as

this:

disable

nat

rip

stats

arp

enable

norelay

route

subnet

config

help

ping

routes

version

device

ipatm

relay

snmp

If you at any time wish to return to the original undefined command prompt (the

first IP address prompt), type home and depress Enter and you will again see the

IP address prompt.

The commands restart, uptime and version are not command modes. The

restart command will restart (reboot) the Router. Remember that any changes

made to the configuration must be saved before the Router is restarted or the

changes will be lost. The uptime and version commands simply list the uptime

(amount of time the Router has been continuously operating) and the software

version of the unit.

Saving Changes

To save changes made to the Router configuration type config save and press

Enter, the current settings will be saved to nonvolatile RAM.

Finding the Password

If you forget the user name and password that allows you to access the web-based

manager you can retrieve this information using the console terminal interface.

To do this type flashfs cat initweb and you will see the user name and

password listed.
