Have you cleared ROM-D? If you don't, you may be in for a shock if you reboot the router from the command line.

I haven't, please explain the implications of not doing so and the shock?

LOL, what's that old saying, never assume anything, which means it's always worth stating what appears to be the obvious.
Too many people nowadays lash out at me if I "treat them as if they don't know", but so far this forum isn't that like.

Login in web interface as supervisor, go to Management > Configuration > there will be a ROM-D tab.
The ROM-D stores a config file that replaces the firmware config when resetting the modem, if the modem wasn't straight from ZyXEL factory [retail?] there probably is a custom config file stored there, that you would be using now (might explain why you have the same supervisor password as v10). It's as if someone you don't know took a firmware config and did stuff to it, and by my logic is a v10 config (:no:). You can save the config stored there for research purposes (um, I don't know how), and after that clearing it and using the firmware config. To use the firmware config you need to reset it again once the ROM-D was cleared :o, everyone here recommends pin reset straight after clearing the ROM-D.


Edit: Well well, would you look at that: https://kb.zyxel.com/KB/searchArticle!gwsViewDetail.action?articleOid=012662&lang=EN

Thanks Spring, yes some people do take great offence to being told the obvious, but it's often that which trips us up. I'm now fast approaching 50 so am wiser and appreciate that.

I spent a far while this morning trying to get save_default_clean to work, in fact it was only when I read my post prior to posting another help it doesn't work post that I spotted the error, the last underscore should be a space and then it worked  ;D

The default John Lewis username has gone form the broadband configuration details, and also the supervisor password has changed to a hexadecimal one.

I think I can finally start setting it up now  :fingers:

PS. I've also got the save button back in the login privileges section, not sure if it was the webstyle command that did it, or clearing rom-d

The more recent a generation is, the general prevalency is higher.

It's clearing the ROM-D that restored the privileges Save button.

Good to know the supervisor password behind the hash is the same (I guess it's generated from hardware info).

Hello! Can someone make a simple step-by-step tutorial, using Putty or something else to obtain dumpmdm file? I am a noob and I don't know how to obtain my supervisor username and password.

Welcome to the forum DeuxEx!

If I remember rightly our very own Burakkucat did such a thing a while back, now where to find it. There is a search thing that will search the entire set of posts, and it can do it by content text match or subject or both and optionally limit it to one person's posts and recent posts.



Is the following any use?https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,21936.msg378037.html#msg378037

I did a search for posts by user=Burakkucat and containing=supervisor and there are a lot so I could not go through them all, in too much pain just now

I'm a noob to this, but thanks. I think that i have now an other problem. After a put the lates firmware, I did a reset. No I can't acces the user interface with zyuser/1234. Any solution? I also mention that user and password supervisor/zyad1234 never worked for me, not now, not before the upgrade.

Yes, I did. Is not working. I also try supervisor/zyad1234 and zyuser/1234. Not working.
It has 1.00(AAPQ.15)C0 firmware version. Ca I downgrade it to an other version? That will modify the login credentials to default (admin/1234 or supervisor/zyad1234)?
Sorry for my poor english!

Hi folks,

I've just got a VMG8924-B10A with firmware v.20 and I was able to find the supervisor password with "dumpmdm", then I've cleared ROM-D, factory reset and finally updated to the latest v.28

Now, after the update the supervisor password apparently has changed + if I telnet to the device and type the command "dumpmdm" I get the following error message:
Code: [Select]
> dumpmdm
telnetd:error:733.204:processInput:599:unrecognized command dumpmdm

The strange thing is that if I type the command "help" I get a list of the available commands and "dumpmdm" is listed...  :'(

I'm quite confused and not sure what else to do, can someone please advise ?

Tia.

Hmm . . .  :o  :hmm:
  • Have you tried "supervisor" with "zyad1234" as the password?
  • Could you roll-back the firmware image to version 20?
  • Does powering on the device whilst the reset button is held operated, until the power LED shows constant (not flashing) red, then have a firmware upload page available at the 192.168.1.1 IPv4 address?

Also, is it normal that if I type the command "ls" I get an error message:
Code: [Select]
> ls
telnetd:error:477.203:processInput:599:unrecognized command ls

yes I did try "supervisor" with "zyad1234" and it didn't work!

And assuming I am able to roll back, then I should stay with an older firmware ?  :'(

That would best be discussed with other users of the same device.

One command in that list caught my eye . . . "sys". I suspect that if you just enter that command without any arguments it will probably return a "help" message. Perhaps there will be something that can be used.

It would be good if other users could give their opinion(s) on your problem, as I can only offer general thoughts.
