Dear Jamie,
How can MTNL change your modem password,
ADSL + doesn't allow the ISP to remote access any of their clients/subscribers machines, unless you are connected to internet and you have given the engineer access to the settings through your OS.
Try resetting and rebooting the modem through the switch and the hole for hard reset.
Regards
I have already hard reset the modem & yes I was able to login after that.But the miserable speeds problem still remained.I just did not post about it coz I am really getting tired of this.Regarding remote access, most modems &
routers can be configured for just that thru their configuration pages don't think access thru OS required configuring the modem should do the trick.But since these modems r bought by MTNL from companies in wholesale who knows they could possibly be tweaked for MTNL by the suppliers themselves.Maybe yes maybe not, who knows.
Can u please explain how a modem stops accepting the default user & password just like that?
And yes this is the 2nd time this has happened.
Earlier I had changed the default user & pass for the modem login.And then when pass was rejected I hard reset the modem.
After that incident I decided not to change the modem user & pass & keep it at default.
This time around the default user & pass is rejected which after a hard reset is ironically accepted.
