Default Password of PLDT Router AN5506-04

Feature image for default password of pldt router model an5506-04

The default password of PLDT router admin account (“adminpldt”) keeps on changing every now and then. As a result, the default passwords published on the internet do not work anymore. The default password used to be “1234567890”. Later, it was changed to “0123456789”. Again, not very long ago, it became “6GFJdY4aAuUKJjdtSn7dC2x”. As of 10 October 2019, in my router AN5506-04-FA, the default password is:

What follows is a step by step guide on how to find out the default password for PLDT routers, for both the “admin” and the “adminpldt” accounts. As an overview, first, we need to enable the “telnet switch” on the router’s web admin interface by logging as a SuperUser. Finally, we display the passwords for both the user (“admin”) and the admin (“adminpldt”) accounts by using a program called telnet.

If it says that ‘telnet’ is not a recognized command, then, you will need to enable it by searching for “telnet”, and clicking on the “Turn Windows features on or off”.

Step 10

To display the password for the “admin” account, type “get web user username admin”.

Step 11

In the same manner, to display the password for the “adminpldt” account, type “get web admin username adminpldt”.

Below is the screenshot of whole telnet session, showing the hacked “admin” account password and the “adminpldt” account password.

Take note that based on the display above, my password for the “admin” account is “12345678”. Also, my password for the “adminpldt” account is “admin123”.

However, if you reset the router to the factory defaults by pressing the reset switch at the back of the router before doing the procedure outlined here, you should get the default password for PLDT routers: password “1234” for the “admin” account, and the password “z6dUABtl270qRxt7a2uGTiw” for the “adminpldt” account.

Cheer and Enjoy!

  1. I cannot change directory to “web”. These are my only options when I type “list”

  2. @YURI,
    There are only two reasons I know why the password would not work.
    1. You are mistyping the password. Copy and paste the password from this post to your browser. Copy and paste this: z6dUABtl270qRxt7a2uGTiw
    Or,
    2. You are not using the correct IP address. Assuming that your router is set to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1, the correct IP address to type at the browser is https://192.168.1.1/fh. Do not forget the “/fh”.

    1. fh means “fiberhome” w/c is a contractor of pldt sa pagsupply ng mga modem nila..pero ngaun mix na may fiberhome at huwawei modems na

  3. Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you penning this write-up and the rest of the website is very good.

  4. I follow the instructions but stock on Config\web#
    I type ‘ get web user username admin ‘ and it says ‘ % unkown command ‘
    Why is that?

  5. any update?

    Administrator: f~i!b@e#r$h%o^m*esuperadmin
    Password: s(f)u_h+g|u

    wont work anymore, i think they changed it again already.

    Alam niyo po ba ano yung super admin username and password for this modem

    AN5506-04-FA(2134285-F1A)(US1)

  10. Hello as of 11/2021 the adminpldt password cannot be retrieved using the telnet command. I get
    usertype is error!
    when I try the get web for adminpldt.

    Did the password or admin access get changed? I could not use my other LAN ports because of this. 🙁

  11. If your PLDT AN5506-04-FA modem is FW RP2649, all the prev passwords no longer work. Also, there is no longer a superadmin. It was removed. The good news is you can still access the adminpldt.
    1st log into 192.168.1.1/fh .
    2nd username is adminpldt
    3rd New PLDT default PW is Mj5UI3OPr9vYq8bCxl1rV50E

    This is what got me into my modem successfully.

    1. i don’t know how but your username and password works on my old pldt home fibr HG6245D RP2804
      I’ve tried hundred times with different username and password of this model but nothing works.
