    I thought it usually is written at the bottom of the router. At least if it is the default, which it likely would be.

      If you’re using default credentials for your router, there’s a good chance others are also using them. Including the administration credentials. If the defaults are set up for convenience instead of security, someone else could even potentially flash their own firmware on there, which essentially means it has become their router.

        A random dad isn’t going to change the administrator password. You’re lucky if they’re changing anything from the defaults but definitely not the configuration credentials.

        But I was talking about the wifi password.

        And that’s why I can’t be held responsible for the sharing of backdoor.sluts.7.2016.4k.264.mpeg.torrent from my IP, your honour.
