[LoveGod]

Hello to all,

I'm kinda new here so i came with a question hoping for a solution.

I've got a D-link router and i have seemed to lost my PPPoE password, its in asterisk and i'm wondering how can i recover it? If somebody has an answer please help me

Thank you

if you lost it contact your ISP and get them to send it to you via snail mail or via email (if you got mobile you can read email on) etc

Look for an option that says "Save current configuration to file", it saves a .dat file to the location you choose, open the file using word-pad.....see if you can find the password there. My solution isn't specific to D-Link, most ADSL/VDSL routers' HTTP management pages have such an option.

Alternatively, if your forgetting the PPPoE password has put you in a fix, ask your ISP to reset it.

reset? 99.99% of the time they just mail you the username and password
the last 1% is just for show

Alright, it's upto the ISP....the logic remains.

Not sure if you can do this on d-link routers, but perform a nvram dump and all the settings should be displayed in plain text. You could also save your config file, but i'm pretty sure the data would be encrypted on that

It worked for me. I used O to open the .cfg file, you can use Windows Wordpad as well.

Behind the cyan boxes is my PPPoE id and password in plain text

Thanx for all the replies guys. I'll try it in a couple of days when i get home

@Homeless: can you explain how to do that? im kinda newbie

you can always push the reset button for 5 seconds to restore the router to its default configuration

Just tell your parents that your router automatically reset itself. 99% of the time if your parents don't understand how it works they will believe you... lol. Then just call your ISP and get the info

And lose other important settings such as IP/gateway configuration in the process.
