That's not hard-coded onto the maxis router? Weird that they arent doing it for their own router

at least for the new tplink ax10 they need to configure it.

to me the ax10 is like a downgrade in terms of coverage, but upgrade in terms of wifi speed.

I see. I use pfsense as my main router. The MA131 whatever shitty router they provide is used as a 4G backup in case the main one fails

Try to use the root user to login and change back

MaxSysAdm
Ng88Mxs@2019!

Eh they're giving wifi 6 router?

This password works for me. I'm able to get root access to the router.

starting this year i guess.

but coverage worse than old netgear even on 2.4ghz

huh their site still shows the old Archer c5v
would be nice to have a wifi 6 router

Thanks. Will check if this special admin works.

Alternatively I have confirmed with Maxis support on Twitter that I can simply hard reset the modem and it will go back to default, including my pppoe username and password. Just need to change back the wifi SSID, DNS etc...

Is it possible to change the password of MaxSysAdm?

I’m not aware other than messing with the config file

Which has to be decrypted, edited, then re-encrypted then reuploaded to the router

The encryption key that TP-Link uses is out there somewhere on the internet

This MaxSysAdm account is sorta a security risk but i guess it’s for the techs to help reset administrator passwords lol and also some settings that are hidden/uneditable from the administrator user, such as CWMP

It's an old post, but it's help me setting port forwarding. Thank you so much Sir !

Is there a simple way to get the ppoe - PPP password ? or need to call Maxis ?
thks.

Yes there are guides out there on this forum, usually involves the dev console to unhide it

PSA, do not update to the 2021 firmware, the MaxSysAdm account has been changed

Your maxis pppoe user ID +1

If your ID is 123456 then add 1 behind. 1234561

For me mine surprisingly didn't have the 1 behind and confused me for a while so check both without a 1 and with a 1

Woah. Maxis says as per SOP their password is maxis ID +1 behind. But well I guess sometimes it could fakap once or twice. Human error. So long it works ok la..

Oh a quick decryption later got it, it's !!bestHOME!!0084

Interesting password, Maxis.

Yeah it's actually a problem since their servers are remotely pushing the wrong password and I loose internet connection (after moving from private to public IP), so i had to disable the remote TR-069/CWMP stuff
