[dba-Tech] firewalls

I had that problem once and found the password on a web site by googling the
manufacturer and model and password.

IIRC, I also once hit the reset button on the router which set it back to
its factory settings and then the password was either blank or admin.

Oh, the dh did it, and I seriously doubt it he did anything other than run
the wizard. It was connected and running fine, but after rebooting, I can't
get in -- wants a password, which totally busts me at this point. I can't
log on at all, so it's not like I can get in and hack another account -- I
can't log in at all. Once I can log on again, I'll secure the router.

Lexie uses that computer and my best guess is she did and just doesn't
remember. I called her, but she said she didn't. I've no clue who, when,
how...

I'm in the process of downloading ophcrack -- man is that thing huge! ;(

Interesting, the wireless won't work on the laptop. :( It keeps looking for
a file -- I'll deal with that some other time.
