Globe WiMAX: How to Access and Get Web Admin’s Username and Password
To be able to get the most out of Globe WiMAX you'll just have to login to its Web Admin Management Interface as admin then tweak some. Tweaks like: increasing speed, controlling dls, security, dhcp, port forwarding, dmz and more…
I know it's easier said than done. The problem is, out of the box, Globe WiMAX doesn't include the admin account info username and password… However, there's a way to get them, all you need to do is access the device because they're embedded within the firmware itself.
If you haven't already noticed, Globe WiMAX doesn't have a database to store the values for its configuration. So meaning all of the config values are stored as text in files. Yes, including the admin username and password. And getting them is not hard at all. Just follow the steps and you're good.
The web admin interface for Globe WiMAX has two account types, the so-called user and admin. With admin having all features available.
