I just discovered this , can I issue a reboot command here?

Moreover , I already replied to the ticket saying that my firmware update issue is fixed and requested root/supervisor credentials.

I suspect not. But perhaps you can find the time to test and then let us all know?

After I opened a new ticket about not being able to reboot the router , they lastly respond with:

Dear Customer,

we are really sorry that we can not provide more support for you in that case.
Because these home user products only have limited small Linux installed that the endusers are not supposed to use in a profound ways.

This is ridiculus! I also own a ZyXEL P-870HN 51b (home gateway of course, 4 years old) and I am able to reboot it from telnet/ssh , no problem!

have you tried the "reboot" command when logged in as Supervisor via telnet/ssh?

Zyxel doesn't send any supervisor credentials to end/home users like me. Anyway, to close this thread, I finaly found a workaround called ssh tunneling (this can be used even if you don't have https access from WAN due to TLS error) and with this I mirrored the http localhost site of the  gateway to the localhost of my mobile. Then, I just logged in and issued a reboot from web interface as normal.

If it was not for ssh tunnelling, I would never have done it but I would prefer to have elevated rights to my product anytime than having to rely to workarouds like this.

If you login via telnet as admin and issue the command:

cat /var/passwd

msg me the line containing:

supervisor:$dkhkjdfjgsfjjfg:0:0:Administrator:/:/bin/sh

I will give you the Supervisor password, which you can then change to something else.

[REAL FINAL SOLUTION]

Only the root account (which has the same password like the supervisor one) has access to reboot command via ssh/telnet. Thanks to a guy named John on this forum, he helped me find out these credentials.

Basically John used the hashcat utility to decrypt the supervisor password.   
Hashcat needs a decent spec GPU to get results quickly which is why j0hn kindly offered to do so, otherwise it may have taken bobis a few days.
