Bypassing Router Password

  #1  
Jan 19th, 2007
Im being denied any service form my administrator so here i am. We (me and the rest of the non adminestrating users) are fed up with the lack of response of our adminestrator. Some of our internet services are being block like chatting, bittornets, ext. :cheesy:

When we try to chat there is a conection failer and the router denies us access.

I tried to use a sniffer to get the router password but with no luck,
Do you know how i can get pass the rouer's password? Or where i can dowload a decent sniffer and how to use it...(i said i tried)

There is about 10 computers online. All have the same problem cuz all work with the same kingston router.

O and we are entiteled to about 1.5GB each but the administrator is only letting 1GB througth for each user. The rest just magicly dissapear.

default gateway = 10.0.0.2
Old Kingston router

PLZ we need some help

How am I supposed to know that you legally own the router? If not, are you not attempting to gain illegal access to the router, or being a "hacker"?

I'm not going to help you break the law, but if you actually own the router, you can usually reset it (setting the admin password back to default) by using a pin in the router's reset hole at the back.

There's a way to reset nearly every router - sometimes you just have to check in the documentation for details.

The router is the only component running a firewall, and is the only component limiting the amount of gb each port may use. The problem is that I can't get pass the password. And i don't want to reset the router cuz the administrater will have his panties in a twist if i do.

O and for "breaking the law", we have signed a contract giveing each user the right for 1.5GB wich we are currently only getting 1GB the rest is stollen by the administrator.
Sueing the administrator, ha not like it's going to do us any good here in south africa lol. I would be wasting my time.

My guess is that it's the speed cap:
O and we are entiteled to about 1.5GB each but the administrator is only letting 1GB througth for each user.
But of course I could be wrong.

And i don't want to reset the router cuz the administrater will have his panties in a twist if i do.
As far as I know, it's pretty hard breaking into a router - you would basically need to find a firmware flaw. But if you can't reset the router without getting in trouble, I don't want to help you.

1gb isn't speed, it's the amount of traffic. In some countries like Russia traffic is still limited, and you pay per meg/month.
the guy says he is supposed to have 1.5gig/month, but what he receives is only 1gb.

I see two solutions:
1. have a talk with the sysadmin, or whoever is responsible for the traffic accounting and limitation
2. make sure it really is 1gb you are getting - there is lots of overhead traffic you don't see if you count your megs by (for instance) summing up the files you downloaded with emule
