i have idirect 3100 modem when i open the option file there is a section titled security with the following data:

[SECURITY]
� � �password = $idi2$.PLcU.$2...
� � �admin_password = $idi2$.E6...

is that the admin password and �how to recover it

it is encrypted or hashed

the reason behind this is that my provider give me a user account which i can't use it align antenna

i want to change to express w3 so this will help me alot

You cannot recover the admin password from falcon (the options file). �So your options are fairly limited and your dependency on your provider is significant. �

I would have your ISP provide you a new options file with a temp password. �That will at least allow you to point the system. �Once on the air, they can roll it back with a quick tcp push and 40 second reboot.

You can change the linux level password (for root). �However, the falcon password is set in iBuilder.

Changing the linux level (root) password wont do a whole lot for you, but it will allow you into linux (console) so you can cut and paste a new options file into /etc/idirect/falcon. �

---------------------

password = $idi2$.PLcU....
admin_password = $idi2$....

---------------------

Above is encrypted password

It is in enrypted form, but if you have a password which you already know in encrypted form then you can copy and paste to mentioned line in the options file and it works. Huseyin
