Finding the Password Inside a Chunghwa Telecom HiNet Fiber Wi-Fi Router
/ 1 min read
I recently signed up for Chunghwa Telecom HiNet fiber at 50M/10M, and took the free Wi-Fi that comes with it.
The box is a D-Link WBR-2200.
I followed a few posts online, applied for a fixed IP, and logged into the router.
- How to log in
Normal User: user/userSuper User: cht/chtapInside there is a mysterious account: xxxxxxxx@wifi.hinet.net.
A thread on Mobile01 says you have to call Chunghwa Telecom and ask them for that password. I did not feel like calling, so I did it myself.
Step 1.
I was in Chrome. Right-click the password field and choose Inspect Element.
In the panel that opens you get something like this:
<input value="123456" />I figured that number was probably not the password, copied it, and tried it anyway.
What happened next was a coincidence, if it looked like one.
Thanks.
Probably only applies to the home Wi-Fi unit bundled with HiNet fiber, the WBR-2200.
