Huawei Dn8245v Configuration
Ronald Gruzinsky
i neet your assistance about how to configure RE200 with a hiiden SSID because i tried once but it crashed the router configuration and i had to return to the ISP to reconfigure the router settings knowing that the reouter is provieded by the ISP is huawei DN8245V
You could try to set up extender via Tether or web page, and select ' can't find your Wi-Fi' or ' Other' when range extender scans for host SSID, manually put in SSID and wifi password and finish the set-up process.
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.
