Bypass Router Password Prompt..

I have lost my username and password to my home router.I have search in the internet and the only way to do it is to do a hard reset on the router.But,i do not want to do a hard reset because there are important setting in the router.Does anybody know how to bypass the password prompt?Please help…Thanks a lot…

Sorry Moshbat,i am totally new here.Can i know what do u mean by "something important that you're missing"??Thanks..

get a local server setup, (XAMP / easyPHP / etc) and quickly code a php brute forcer.

obvioulsy that willl only work if you can vaguely remember your username and the password was a word.

Thanks Mr Cheese,if i totally forget the username and password?That mean i really need to do a hard reset?

Don't some routers have a telnet server with a (possibly) different username/password than the standard control panel login? Just a thought.

Yeah, it's pretty simple: either you crack your forgotten password, or you do a hard reset and redo the settings on your router. Good idea about checking for the possible Telnet server, mg.

Unless you are willing to wait for HOURS for a bruteforcer to strike lucky…[/quote]

You could take the same bruteforcer, give it a different range to scan, and use it 20 times with 20 ranges, then you will crack it 20 times faster (theoretically).

… And, yes, THC-Hydra can thread its brute force attempts. It also can attack HTTP basic auth, IIRC.

Yeah, I know. I just had flashbacks to that thread with 40+ useless posts about the Sun story.

Anyways, if it was my router and… well, if I decided it was worth cracking my pass instead of just doing a hard reset, I'd just disconnect the outside line of the router (habit) and start a brute before I go to bed. I had to do something similar for a router that I inherited at my last job.

I agree that the sun thread is pointless-ish. Because the world isn't going to end. But thanks for your concern. Like they said hard reset, pain in the ass but w/e, moves things on. cracking could take "hours". Pending on how many passwords you load into a dictionary file or how many characters you add into your bruteforcer. In my opinion, I suggest you do a hard reset and then go through the configuration all over again and make sure it is how you want it. As for blacklists and such… Too bad.
