Title: view DG834Gv5 adsl password ?
Post by: exxos on Sep 30, 2012, 22:48:40
Does anyone know how to view or recover the ADSL password from the netgear DG834Gv5 router ? Or know if updating the firmware will "loose" all the current settings & info ?

A reset should clear the password. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12744

Also it will clear all settings, normally a firmware update wont cause issue, but read about any adverse effects from updating before you do.

But it won't reset or view the current password

I found you can view the config settings file direct so I got the info from that file in the end.

Hmm, lets hope that's not exploitable remotely.
