I have a 6120 that i have going with forceware. I was messing with settings and i changed the password to log into forceware. Is there anybody that can either pull my password from a full 8mb dump or reset it feom the 8mb dump. I want to access this particular modem becuase i currently have it online with no issues and dont rememner all the settings i changed to get it to this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Did you get it?
 
You cannot pull the password from the full dump because it is encrypted, but if you have the SSH password you can reset the WebUI password.

SSH into forceware and run the following command (change "yournewpassword" to desired password)
Code:
hpasswd yournewpassword

Now take the results from the previous command and use it to replace the word "output_here" in this command and run it
Code:
echo "admin:output_here" >/nvram/fw/.htpasswd

Example
Code:
echo "admin:KdcE8nHjwFGB6" >/nvram/fw/.htpasswd

Now you can log in the WebUI with the new password
 
Or you can just delete it and reboot modem, then it resets to default password

Code:
rm /nvram/fw/.htpasswd
 
Back
