What is the AT entercnd password?

You can connect via "telnet 192.168.1.1 5510" to gain access to "AT shell" which responds to various AT commands, e.g. status or band selection. 

 

"at!entercnd" is the command for band selection but it needs a password. What is the password? It's not any of the common ones it usually is.

      No this isn't it. Again, this is for the MR1100 Nighthawk, not the 77xS / 34xU

      Hi,

      I see from that reference it says the password is stored in NVRAM.

      Could someone with a modem that has a known password, complete the following steps:

      1. backup the NVRAM (xqcn format)

      2A. AT!ENTERCND="oldpassword"

      2B. AT!SETCND="password"

      3. backup the NVRAM (xqcn format)

      4. compare the xqcn files

      5. identify the NV_Items EFS_Data stream that changed, e.g.

      <Storage Name='EFS_Data'>
      <Stream Name="00000001" Length="8" Value="04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "/>

       6. identify the NV_Items EFS_Dir that has the matching stream

      <Storage Name='NV_Items'>
      <Storage Name='EFS_Dir'>
      <Stream Name="00000001" Length="28" Value="2F 6E 76 2F 69 74 65 6D 5F 66 69 6C 65 73 2F 72 66 6E 76 2F 30 30 30 32 35 32 31 34 "/>

       7. Report back here the EFS_Data for both passwords, both passwords and the EFS_Dir.

      Please note there will also be EFS_Dir and EFS_Data under EFS_Backup in the xml so don't mix them up.

       

      Once we know the EFS_Dir and password encoding, we'll know where to look for users with modems that have unknown passwords.

      Hi Guys,

       

      How to backup the NVRAM?  Export config from the admin webpage or something else?

       

      Thx,

      Jonathan
