THOMPSON SPEEDTOUCH ST516 PASSWORD.

Post by kanelodr » Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:22 pm

MY OLD DSL ROUTER OVERHEATED AND NOW I FOUND A NEW FROM A DIFFERENT ISP BUT IT IS PASSWORD LOCKED. I tried to reset the modem but it didnt work. I used the web interface and and it keeps asking for a username and password which i dont know. I tried with telnet with root as user and root as password but nothing.

If someone has another idea how can i get to this router it would be apreciated.

A quick search on google gives the default username as Administrator and password is left blank.

Which, lets face it, would have been on my short list of obvious ones to try. :roll:

note the capital "A" in Administrator. make sure you have reset it to factory defaults.

Hi.

Thomson speedtouch series, 516 and 585, and newer 7xx, are commonly firmware locked by ISP.
So you need unloock it before use your 516 over a different account/ISP than the original ones.

Just google 516 jtag or 585 jtag, you will find how.
