Hi, a friend of mine bought a vb104w off trademe for as a VDSL modem (bigpipe), however after receiving it he has found that he cannot log into the web interface, it has a password as expected. We have used google and tried all the defaults (admin/admin admin/Password, user/user 1234/1234....) to no avail. Resetting the modem does nothing either (the lights blink and go out, and then come back on), and all the above passwords still don't work. I have also tried the passwords on the telnet interface, and so far none of them have worked there either (guess they are the same as the web interface ones). The modem/router does have a WIFI connection broadcasting, with an SSID of 'Slingshot Home WIFI 377', and we have tried connecting to the wifi by using the WPS button, but WPS must have been disabled. 

So... any ideas on how to access this, or should we go run this one over and buy a new one?

I have one of these . the admin user password could be the last 6 characters of the Mac id printed on the bottom of the modem. lower case

the wireless key is the full mac id in either lower or upper case. Its all very flakey
