Recently the motel my dad manages had a wireless service installed from my cable internet. The guy who installed the service reset the password on the router so I can't forward ports. The wireless router is a
3com OfficeConnect 3CRWE51196
I looked at the instructions for reseting the password, but was kind of confused and didn't want to do anything that might screw the wireless service up. Because of this I can't use Azureus. So can anyone help me?:unsure::unsure::unsure:
either reset the router by pressing the little factory restore button which will wipe all the current settings or ask the bloke for the password.
>3com OfficeConnect 3CRWE51196
Sicne these are going for $30 on ebay you could buy another one so you could plug the original back in if there is a problem.
Try this:
Password: admin
I wouldn't have made this post if I hadn't tried that.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

He must have changed it so that whoever uses the wireless connection cant just access the ruouter's config.
You'll have to call up the guy that installed it or reset it.
Well I contacted him and he said that he wouldn't open them, because it would allow incoming traffic to access everyones HD on the wireless network. He also told me about some contract or agreement he had that prohibited him from doing what I asked him to do, so I'll just wait a while and then reset it myself.
I know a lot of router's reset switches reset the admin password too.
Hold it down for 10-20 seconds.
If all fails, you might be able to brute force it overnight and get it in the morning. (hopefully it doesn't limit the access attempts per time period)
search google for a brute force program. They merely go through and generate every possible number/letter combo passwords to gain a small password. If it's over 5-7 characters, it'll probably take too long. If it's small, but has special characters such as $,%,&.. then it'll also take too long. Brute Force is pretty rough, but is very limited.
