This post is going to be short and sweet as it’s something I meant to put up here when I found it sometime back in mid-2011.\u00a0 I’m not even sure if Time Warner is still using these Ubee cable modems for their RoadRunner offering, but I’m sure that there are at least a few people out there who still have them.\u00a0 When you get the modem installed initially, they give you some default credentials.\u00a0 Something like user\/user or admin\/admin.\u00a0 Using these credentials, you are able to access the device and many of the features that it has to offer you.\u00a0 What you are not able to do is access the menus where you can change how the router is actually configured for internet access, change the master password, or prevent Time Warner from accessing your modem, and subsequently, your network.\u00a0 To fix this, you just need to know the following secret…<\/p>\n
The real administrator username that comes configured on these modems when you get them from Time Warner is the last eight digits of the unit’s MAC address sans the colons separating out the values.\u00a0 This is unique to your device, but can be found pretty easily by looking at the user interface that you do have access to.\u00a0 The password for this user is “c0nf1gur3m3”.\u00a0 Use that and you should be in.\u00a0 Feel free to change the password while you’re in there to keep the Time Warner folks out.<\/p>\n
