LB1120 Default password not working
My internet randomly stopped working, and I was unable to log into the modem even though I never changed the password. All lights were green at this time.
After retrying the pw from the back label, 'password', and a few other guesses just in case I changed it, I reset to factory default by holding the reset button for 5 seconds. After this, the signal lights are still green so the sim is detected, but internet light turned red (this is expected, I should have to log in and reset the APN).
Now the default passwords still won't work. Just in case the reset failed I did it again hdi g the button for a out a minute, same result.
If I can find a way to reset the password and use the GUI, great! If not, does this modem have a telnet interface or any other way to configure it? As it stands I have a brick.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems
Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
