Billion UK Forum

I've been trying to login to my 7800N to view CRCs etc but when trying to login both via Telnet and PUTTY, after entering admin at login prompt, I only get a flashing cursor at the Password prompt.

The cursor doesn't respond to the input and after typing admin>Enter I just get another prompt on the next line. This accepts the input but after pressing Enter - doesn't recognize admin.

Anyone have any ideas how to get round this - others on TalkTalk forum have no probs including at least one with 7800N

I have just tested the telnet option, and found the same issue (not showing the typed password), but I can login using 'admin' as the password.

You have to type the password, even though it will not show the password you have typed. Then press enter.

Are you sure you have not changed the admin password?

Here is a screen capture my telnet session, I think this is what you were looking for.

Hi Billion_fan,

Thanks for your reply.

I have managed to get in since my original thread and have already tried that cmd as advised by Billion techs, also "adslctl info --show" which returns as invalid or not found.

Not sure how else to phrase the cmds listed in ?/help in order to access the full router stats.

Finally got the cmd "adsl info --stats" to work
