# How to Factory Reset my D-Link DIR-BE3602 Router?

If you experience login issues or need to restore the router to its original settings, you can perform a factory reset. This will erase all customized settings, including Wi-Fi names, passwords, and admin credentials.

**Option 1: Reset Using the Reset Button**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Locate the **Reset** button

* You’ll find a small RESET button on the back or bottom panel of your DIR-BE3602 router.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Press and hold the **Reset** button

* Use an unfolded paperclip or pin to press and hold the RESET button for about 10–15 seconds until the router’s LED indicator starts blinking.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Wait for the router to **reboot**

* The router will automatically restart. Once the LED turns solid, the reset is complete.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

Note: After resetting, your router’s settings will return to factory defaults.&#x20;

* Default IP address: **192.168.0.1**&#x20;
* Default username: **admin**
* Default password: ***(refer to the router’s label located at the back)***

**Option 2: Reset Through the Web Interface**

If you can still log in to the router’s web configuration page, you can reset it from there.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Connect to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open a web browser and go to **192.168.0.1** or **<http://dlinkrouter.local>**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Log in using your admin credentials.

* Log in again using admin as the username.&#x20;
* Reconfigure your Wi-Fi settings, Internet connection, and admin password.
