Is there a way to get the PPPOE Password from my backup file? I'm asking because I'm not sure what it was and I'm thinking of doing a factory reset. I'd call the ISP but they're a local Co-op and not too bright in the IT department. They didn't even understand what the PPP username and password was and it took almost a week of calls to get somebody to finally understand what I was trying to get from them. So if there is a way to decrypt my config file to find that, it would be great!

Found it! Here's how:
Enable Telnet via Debug page
Navigate to /etc/ppp/
And run more chap-secrets
Username and Password will be displayed in plain text. 😉
Just incase anyone else wants this info or needs to recover their PPPoE password as well.

Re: XR500 backup configuration question
Unfortunately its something I've set so it wouldn't be generic. Also, there is no modem. I have fiber directly to the side of the house and from there a Cat 6 to my comm closet. If there is a modem of some sorts it's outside in a locked box lol.
Yes.....I know I should've wrote it down and threw it in the safe. And it had it not been a unique 16 character complex password specifically for this account I wouldn't be kicking myself in the butt right now. That's what I get for bringing work to the home lol.
