ZyXel P-660R-D1 password problem

Hi there everyone,

I recently bought a second-hand ZyXel P-660R-D1 ; but I am having trouble with it.

When I go to it's web page, it asks for a password. I know the default admin password for ZyXels is '1234' but that's not accepted. I've tried hard-resetting, but that hasn't helped.

The password of 'user' works fine, but that only allows viewing of the status of the router, not actually change the configuration.

The router appears to have originally been supplied by a company called Viatel, and a third party called RoCom. I rang Viatel, and they couldn't help - they said the password shoudl be "admin", but it isn't.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be? Or, a way of finding out what it is, or being able to totally re-flash the device with standard firmware?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

David.

is there a way to fash the latest firmware and hence get it back to the default username/password? Check their web site

Have you tried Admin .... capital A ..... not admin?

edit
for ZyXel standard firmware the default settings are usually > username ... admin > password ... 1234

if supported then > privilegess ... Admin

According to the user guide here ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/P-660R-D1/user_guide/P-660R-D1_3... you just reset the device and use 1234 as the password. I suspect the OP didn't properly reset the device, as the guide includes instructions on how to reset it.

Yes you might be right about the reset if it wasn't done as suggested.

Thanks for the help guys - but still no luck. I have tried again to hard-reset it, and followed the (simple) instructions exactly, but to no fruition. Also tried 'Admin', and every variant of common password I could think of.

I suspect ZyXEL made a batch of these units specifically for Viatel, and created a custom admin password on the device which seems to be unknown to all and sundry!

Oh well, £20 wasted I think.

Did you get a solution to your problem? I am having the same trouble.

I had to throw it in the bin, in the end.
