This is how Equifax was “hacked”. They had a remote server with those credentials, which someone used to steal all our info. Equifax paid like $10 per person in fines and said “teehee our bad”.
If that one doesn’t work try login: guest password: password.
Man “hacking” was so much easier when people knew nothing about device configurations.
They still don’t. Most devices are left at default settings around here.
This is why many new routers you can buy actually ship with unique passwords as default, with the key printed on the bottom of the router.
that was done because when wifi encryption wasn’t enabled by default, most people had no clue how to turn it on. so now it’s the norm to enable encryption and supply the default credentials (which you should still change) to connect. this is why there’s hardly any ‘open’ wifi to ‘borrow’ anymore.

Man I miss those days.
On the bright side, cellular data has become somewhat cheaper over the years.
Very true, but downloading movies over my neighbor’s connection was my first VPN lol.
Wifite2 goes brrr
At least now the default settings on most routers include a unique WiFi password printed on the router, so either that password, physical access to the router, or a serious security vulnerability in software that never receives updates (gee, this list is getting long) is necessary to compromise the router.
Idiots. My pw’s hunter2, but all you guys see is stars.

Damn, you’re right
tfw someone takes a few tries to guess the password to your system because they think it can’t be blank…
I always put the previous key under the mat when I change the locks anywhere.
Or root, password
Login: root Password: toor
this is a new one for me!
I remember seeing this in at least one Linux distro (I think it was Bunsenlabs but I’m not sure, might be something like Kali but I never used that one) a few years ago, nowadays they just give the live account passwordless sudo and lock the root account unless you pick a password for it
It was kali linux and few other Debian based distros for me
Kinda looks like an on/off switch
JB weld it to the floor 🤣
Login:
Password:
Jokes on them, that key is longer the real one so it make contact with zapping device in the lock.
A regular doormat?
Or is that a little thumbtack or a firecracker towards the bottom center (and not just a piece of debris)?
I get the default credentials part…
The key under the mat is visible because the mat has holes.
DUH! Obviously a key now. Thanks.
