Why do airtel technicians change modem passwords without conscent?

[genie]

No there is option called "Access control" . i think that wud be the right one.




So what should be disabled in Access Control ?

Disable all WAN side service (which is so in ur case)Disable FTP/Telnet/TFTP on LAN side too. (not required for access by airtel but its advisable to disable)

This should do the trick (not absolutely sure, but this was the only option that represented remote access)



I do not know why they are resorting to such measures. And I will not recommend disabling the CWMP because Airtel releases periodic updates of the router's firmware.

All were disabled on WAN side before the password was changed by Airtel




Disabling TR-069 access may also work but as mentioned by cool_techie_tvm you may not get the firmware updates.

About TR-069: TR-069 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yup, TR-069 it is. That's what they're usng to change passwords (without consent?).

I recently shifted to a new place so after the installation I wanted to check SNR in front of the Airtel service engineer but I could not login with the default password. Not only that, the Airtel guy also asked me if I had changed the password and forgotten it :loser:I'll try with account number and see if that works.

Is there a way to change the password without their (airtel) help? I moved into a new place and my password I guess is a default easy to guess password. Any help appreciated
