    It's more likely asking for a password to connect to the wireless network, not the router administration password. The password or rather key is defined by you when you configure the router for wireless connections. This could be WEP or WPA/2. If you access your administration page on your DLINK router you should be able to find the wireless configuration. The following page might help you: http://www.ehow.com/how_2091714_set-up-dlink-wireless-router.html
    You should be able to obtain the WEP/WPA key in there, depending on the model of router.

    Good luck and Merry Christmas!

    The password its looking for is the one for your wireless network.
    If you cant remember what it is then log onto your router and it will be in the wireless security settings along with your network name.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Got it thank you very much for your help,
