Mechanical Part if the problem is there:
Two things, when you open the router you can see the reset button structure.
It is quite fragile thing. There is metal ring that holds small black plastic cylinder ( the key itself). The said metal ring is connected to the router circuit board.
If you press the button in too rude way it bends and then you cannot press the button.
You need to open the router and put the metal ring holder back in 90° horizontal position, if you bended it too hard you need to unsolder it and solder it back to the circuit board. My brother had D 650 router that I fixed like that.
Software part if the problem is there:
The D-Link default firmware is pure garbage. As I experimented with the said D-650 I found that I can over-cloak its radio with 30% receiving almost double the range output and rock-solid performance using custom firmware called dd-wrt. www.dd-wrt.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT
Go there find your router and follow the instructions.
D-link is crap in general but if you know what are you doing you can fix it. I was amused by the power of dd-wrt. Open-source programmers writing frimwares that are like 1000 times better then the original written by the paid professionals. I personally always used expensive routers but since a lot of people does not want to spend 150 € or more for router dd-wrt brings the cheap shitty routers to the level of usability of the expensive ones.
Also if you want to buy something good and cheap currently the bang for the bug is this firm: http://www.tp-link.us/

Govedo, lmao, you are a god. You grasped the essence of my question right away.
Basically I already was inside of the router, because loooong time ago I heard some people say that there is a battery, which feeds the ROM of the router, or something along those lines and if you can not reset the router, one needs to open the router's case and remove the battery. (i figured it would be something like PCs rom) Anyway, it turned out there is no damn battery inside !!! LMAO again. I worked with electronics for a while and I know that force is not the way, except when you doing a "stupid test".
I am pretty sure that the reset button works fine because yesterday I did an firmware upgrade, per Dirmaster advice, and the reset button works. So, I am thinking it is purely software glitch/problem. It does not reset the password even with the firmware 1.04.
After I have my coffee and wake up I will go tinkle with the software part of this problem. I will keep you posted on my discoveries and overall sex progress with my DIR-601.
Thanks again.

Update:
After updating Dir-601 to Freeware 1.04NA the Update button is not clickable. I tried resetting and making Emergency Update by following this:
