Well, I also meant that resetting a customer router to defaults without
asking can be dangerous because the customer may have done important
modifications to the default config that are absolutely needed for his
use case. Like setting up VPN or using a different IP range than
192.168.1.*, routing ports, etc.
You are right, the password can be a sticker. In my case, I got the
password from a web form on my ISP, and it is different for each
customer. They do not want people configuring their own routers. When
going to http://router.local.ip you get redirected to
http://isp.internet.address, where we manage a limited set of config
changes via web form. Ie, I request a change on that web page, they
apply it to my router.
To get the password they require us to sign a form saying that we know
what you are doing.
