I have a 2wire wireless (thanks, at&t) and when I tried to forward various ports, I had to log in at what felt like every other screen.
No big deal, I know the password. And if I forget the password, it is written down on a handy little sticker on the bottom of the device.
Aside from writing it down somewhere else and/or having it reset remotely by the ISP, there must be SOME way to recover it.
I am aware they do not use default passwords for this sort of thing on this particular family of devices...which kind of bums me out...but that's another topic...
So...I know 99% of you will have the urge to tell me why I shouldn't bother with this. You're right, now go flame someone else.
Anyone who wants to figure out a way, feel free to join in. I'm not overly concerned on the time table, as I have already written down / memorized the password to my own router, and AT&T is always happy to reset it remotely for me.
This is more for fun then anything else constructive or useful, and just a good old fashioned hacker urge to grab a beer and attempt the impossible. Again.
