How to connect to wireless if you have forgotten WPA Key of Dlink Wireless Router

This happened to one of my relative and I guess this would have happened to all those who would have at least used wireless routers once . We generally setup the password during the initial installation of the router and thereafter its never ever required to reset or memorize the WPA key, but what happens if you buy a new laptop after couple of years, now thats exactly what happened to my relative. He bought a new MAC now he don't know the WPA key. So he called me up and its really very simple to reset the WPA key if you haven't updated the routers default credentials.

For Dlink Wireless Routers just follow the steps below:

1. Open up the admin console of Dlink Router by typing the url "http://192.168.0.1/", you will get a screen as shown one below :

2. The default username and password is "admin" and "" (leave the password field blank) respectively Or check your router manual for the credentials

3. Once you login, you have the access to reset the WPA key.

Hard Disk Corrupted . Bad Sector Cannot Install Windows OS

You have a corrupted hard disk and since it has lot of bad sectors the installation of Windows can never occur.

Whats the solution ? This was a challenge when I was in Hostel we had a machine which was not being used for the last 1-2year the reason being everytime we try installing the Windows Operating System it would fail with Hard Disk Bad Sector Error. The only solution being to buy a new hard disk.

When you are a student , I don't think you would even have the dollars to spend and buy a new laptop.. so here is hack :)

1. Get Linux Bootable CD

2. When You install Linux you have an option to mark the cylinder with types of file system

3. Mark majority especially from the starting of the hard disk cylinder to EXT3 or EXT4 type of partition.

4. Try to figure out a hard disk space of maybe around 3-4 GB which is enough for XP home or Professional to be set as FAT32

5. After applying the changes just restart the machine without installing Linux.

6. Now when you install windows instead of looking into the other FileSystem, its only going to look for FAT32 file

system and gonna install windows. If you have got atleast 3-4 GB of hard disk which is not having the bad sector, you will probably hit installing Windows OS successfully :)

7. Once installed use utilities like Partition magic to find and hide all the bad sector in the hard disk and probably recover the remaing hard disk space.

It seems to be confusing but the core logic is enforce Windows to get installed in a different area of the hard disk cylinder, the area which is free from bad sector.
