Clearing the password for Aztech DSL1015EW

Instead of the instructions below, you can use H3ll0t3ch when prompted for the Admin Password.

  1. Go to http://192.168.1.254 (or whatever address you have changed it to)
  2. Click Device Administration
  3. Click Backup
  4. Save the backupsettings.conf file into a directory of your choice
  5. Open backupsettings.conf and look for "<AdminPassword>SDNsbDB0M2NoAA==</AdminPassword>"
  6. Change  SDNsbDB0M2NoAA==  to AA== and save the file.
  7. In the Device Administration page, click on Update, then Choose File, and select the updated backupsettings.conf and click Update.
  8. Follow on-screen instructions.

This will reset the Aztech DSL1015EW password, so that you can access http://192.168.1.254/singtel and change whatever you want.

I tried your method and it didn't work. Either something I missed or the new firmware doesn't take a blank password field.

Anyway, I did something based on your method but instead of a blank string for the password, I used the string from my singnet ID (also inside the XML config script).  I substituted the string for the AdminPassword and it worked like charm.  You see, singtel is stupid enough to provide us with the default password to the SingNet ID and the conf file has the encrypted/hashed string.
