Password incorrect error

[drinkingjava]

I have huawei b593-601 router. I am trying to use this tool to check its configuration and maybe tweak it a little. But it seems to always try to login with that long password which is not the one I put in the config file. How I can force it to use the password I provide ? Its version 0.2.2 for windows of this tool. I am using it on windows 10.

It's the password you provide. It's sent hashed and base64 encoded to the router. Either the password is wrong or they have change the auth method. Ensure there's no typo in the configuration.

What editor did you use to edit the configuration?

Hey thanks for the reply, I used various editors. I first tried notepad on Windows and then tried out VSCODE with no avail. Do you know how to decrypt a config file dump maybe ? It is a string of hexadecimals i.e

e774 b606 5bbf f55d 79d7 a1d7 3835 bee7 
09aa 627a 0756 50bc cbbf 624a fb19 170a ...

If I could decode it then maybe I can create a custom config to override some options and then upload it. Pretty sure a reset will fix anything that I may break.

No, I do not know how to decrypt encrypted config files.

I actually meant the Huawei Tool configuration file. Try notepad++.

Hi.

When you extract the folder, there is a file called huawei_band_tool_config.txt
You have to edit it and change the router ip address and username and password with your modem ip address and username and password.

The default config are like this.👇and you have to change it with your modem information.
Router IP address or host
web_router_ip = "192.168.0.1";

Router username (usually admin)

web_router_user = "admin";

Router password

web_router_pass = "admin1";
