Just out of curiosity, I thought would try out the above test; on the CLI interface on my Netcomm NB64W ADSL2+ router; (standard issue iPrimus ). Thought there was a reasonable chance it used BASH; I can TELNET 192.168.1.1 to a login prompt ; but the u/n ADMIN password doesn't seem to be the same as that for the WEB interface; anyone have any suggestions for a default p/w; or is iPrimus likely to have just locked the CLI down with no access possible ? As mentioned nothing urgent; but responses appreciated ! regards Rohan McLeod

A few routers I've seen use 'admin' as the username in the web console, but 'root' as the username as telnet. What username are you using for telnet?

I had been using "admin" in web console (default p/w "admin"); I just tried "root" with p/w 'admin' ,"(enter)" and "NB6Plus4W" drops Telnet; then, NB6PLUS4W , NB6PLUS4W_IPRIMUS and nb6plus drops Telnet thanks anyway James regards Rohan McLeod
