How To Reset Huawei Router Eg8245h5
Fernanda Rabbe
This guide shows you how to reset your Huawei EchoLife EG8245H5 router to factory default settings. This is a much bigger deal than a router reboot. A reboot happens every time a router loses power. This is very different from a reset, which erases a router completely and returns it to factory default settings.
We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.
Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.
You might notice that most of our site doesn't have ads on it. This is because we use partnerships with companies like NordVPN to keep the site running. Thank you for supporting us by using our referral links.
Watch the front panel lights while you hold the reset button down for at least 10 seconds. After a few seconds the lights should blink differently. When this happens, the reset is complete. Do not be concerned about holding the reset button down too long. It will not hurt anything.
Only take this last step of fully resetting your router after you have exhausted all other troubleshooting options, such as running our Router Password Finder software, which can recover a lost router password for you.
After you are finished resetting your router, you need to login in using the original factory username and password. Just follow our EchoLife EG8245H5 Login Guide to find all of the information that you need.
After logging in, you should really change your router's password for added security. It is a huge security risk to leave your router's password set to the factory default. Our Choosing a Strong Password guide talks about choosing a strong password for your router.
Have you tried logging in as user telecomadmin and pass admintelecom? It's a default hardcoded user // pass for Huawei HG8245/HG8245T and as far as I know it's not possible to even change this user's password (at least not from the web UI), which is quite ridiculous!
I have found the source code for the tool aescrypt2_huawei that is provided and a walk-through provided on a blog called TheZedt. It seems the Huawei uses the same configuration encryption key hex:13395537D2730554A176799F6D56A239 on all of its devices and the only thing special about the binary version of the tool is the fact it adds an 8-byte header to the file. You can see the source code link for a more detailed explanation.
As the walkthrough and @Blz mentions you can modify the UserLevel to 0 and reupload it to the router, but... I strongly recommend you add a new user rather than modify an existing account. You'll need to generate a new password hash using the formula SHA256(MD5(new password)). Test to make sure you can generate the same hash as the root account in the file by testing with 'admin'.
There is a way to get admin access. Login to web interface as root/admin. Download existing configuration (System tools -> Configuration file and click on Download configuration file). Open downloaded file with text editor. It depends on you firmware version whether configuration file will be encrypted or not. If your text editor shows XML data then just search for root or X_HW_WebUserInfo and modify existing records or add a new one.
You can change the password for telecomadmin that is the default admin account for Huawei HG8245 by updating the routers configuration file. You can even make the root account an administrator account and even add new ones.
First, let's discuss the Huawei HG8245H firewall. This firewall is a pretty basic firewall designed to protect your home network from any unwanted access from the Internet. Sometimes it becomes necessary to unblock some of the blocked connections. When you unblock a connection to the Internet you are opening a port. This is frequently called a port forward because you are forwarding a port directly from the Internet to a specific device on your home network.
We can now login to the Huawei HG8245H router. The Huawei HG8245H router has a web interface, meaning you need to login using a web browser. The web browser you choose is not important. Some common web browsers include Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Edge.
If the Account and/or Password did not work then we recommend trying some other Huawei usernames and passwords. Check out our list of them here on this Default Huawei Router Passwords page.
If you are still unable to login it may be that you have forgotten that you have changed the Huawei HG8245H username and password. If this is the case you may nee to reset the router. Learn more about this in the How to Reset a Router Password guide.
Enter the IP address to forward these ports to into the Internal Host box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on a device other than your computer then you can enter your device's IP address into that box.
Once you have finished forwarding the ports on the Huawei HG8245H router you should test them to be sure they forwarded correctly. In order to do this, we recommend using our Network Utilities tool. This includes a free Open Port Checker. This port checking tool is the only one online that has Guaranteed Results.
Hi, because it has a customized config that is persistent. You should ask this at the distributor/vendor as this is not a problem with the TR069 ACS. The ones I encounter, had some customization made for vodafone, with 4 wan connection (voip, iptv, mobile net and tr069 management).
Yes the configs are just related to WAN connections, and I rerun the provision script on 1 BOOT.
But the problem is for example when I do a manually port-forwarding and I reboot the CPE, when the CPE recomes up, it has lost the port-forwarding
Im actually experiencing something similar. The routers just lose some configuration like firewall or some wan settings. After we reset them, they do provision ok. What I noticed is if I log into the router and manually press Save settings, the router does not loose the settings any more. It also happens with other Huawei ONT.
