get a local server setup, (XAMP / easyPHP / etc) and quickly code a php brute forcer.
obvioulsy that willl only work if you can vaguely remember your username and the password was a word. |

Don't some routers have a telnet server with a (possibly) different username/password than the standard control panel login? Just a thought.

Yeah, it's pretty simple: either you crack your forgotten password, or you do a hard reset and redo the settings on your router. Good idea about checking for the possible Telnet server, mg.
I still check PMs from time to time.

Unless you are willing to wait for HOURS for a bruteforcer to strike lucky...
You could take the same bruteforcer, give it a different range to scan, and use it 20 times with 20 ranges, then you will crack it 20 times faster (theoretically). |

Ahh, crap... No, he didn't just say that, all you fanatical Sun readers. Ugh.
... And, yes, THC-Hydra can thread its brute force attempts. It also can attack HTTP basic auth, IIRC.

That was merely pointing out that theories are often wrong.
Yeah, I know. I just had flashbacks to that thread with 40+ useless posts about the Sun story.
Anyways, if it was my router and... well, if I decided it was worth cracking my pass instead of just doing a hard reset, I'd just disconnect the outside line of the router (habit) and start a brute before I go to bed. I had to do something similar for a router that I inherited at my last job.

I agree that the sun thread is pointless-ish. Because the world isn't going to end. But thanks for your concern.
Like they said hard reset, pain in the ass but w/e, moves things on. cracking could take "hours".
Pending on how many passwords you load into a dictionary file or how many characters you add into your bruteforcer.
In my opinion, I suggest you do a hard reset and then go through the configuration all over again and make sure it is how you want it. As for blacklists and such... Too bad.
