DIR-615 PPPoE

Do you ever forget the password of your UniFi? To recover your password from the Residential Gateway (which is the D-Link DIR-615) provided by TM. Simply login to your Residential Gateway aka RG by telnet or ssh to the RG. Once you successfully logged into the RG, you can run the command below: -

cat /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

You will see an output as below: -

"username@unifi" * "yourpassword" *

    Hi, i am trying to recover the password but the modem i’m using is the black TM RND model. I tried using the telnet but shows it cant open connection on the host “port 23″. I also tried loading the page with the username and password but dont see any password in there. Appreciate your advise on how to get to the password as i’m trying to set up the router with my synology. Thanks.

    sweenian, I had no idea how to do this in the black TM RND model.

    User, please login using “operator”.

    Anoy, if the command doesn’t work, you may try viewing the source code when you are at the PPPOE page.

    adry, once you are viewing the source code, please try search for unifi and you will see your password next to it (right side).
