Is there any way to reset admin password, other than doing factory reset of router?

The first thing I do with any router is to change its ip address and the range of ips that the lan users can use and turn of dhcp. This would mean your script would have in theory to cover the whole range of private ip addresses from the Wan side and make access from the lan side much more difficult

This all seems pointless, tell me i’m wrong. How can you run any of this unless your on the network? I am surrounded by at least 10 hubs and need to access one of them??

I am connected to a BT Home Hub with the WPA2 key (it’s a long story how I got that!) and when I browse 192.168.1.254 I get the “Change your admin password for the first time” screen, showing version 8.1.A

I’ve tried entering the serial number (from the BT Home Hub Admin app plus “CP” in front) but it tells me it is invalid. I have another BT Home Hub and once I’ve changed the admin password this screen no longer shows.

Any ideas how I can gain access to the admin pages?

The new Home Hub firmware (6.2.6E) removes these exploits.

However if you gain wireless access to the device (which isn’t difficult if it’s on WEP) you will find the default password has been changed to the serial number of the device (unless the owner changed it since).

Now you might think getting the serial number would be impossible without physical access, but using the firmware recovery tool provided by BT it will tell you the serial number on finding it. Then all you do is add the two characters ‘CP’ infront of it to make it valid e.g. CP01234ABCD.

From there I guess the possibility lies with downgrading the firmware to a more vulnerable version.

I don’t suppose there is an exploit in 6.2.6.B that allows telnet access?
