What to do if you don’t receive an SMS with your password?
If this is the first time you see the “service not avialable” or “unable to generate password” informer, and before that everything worked fine, just wait a while. Probably the reason is a technical glitch on Megafon's side. You just need to wait for the operator to fix the problem. Wait an hour or two and order the login code again.
Owners of old push-button dialers may also encounter the fact that an SMS with a password does not arrive on the phone. In this case, the problem is solved by moving the SIM card into a more modern gadget - a smartphone or tablet. You should resend the *105*00# command from this device.
A message with a password from your personal account may not arrive on your phone if you are connected. Call Megafon support and ask to disable the service or tell you the access code to your personal account (if you do not want to refuse the option).
Only the operator can determine the exact reason why it is impossible to create an access code to your Personal Account or why SMS messages are not received. Call the hotline at 0500 (from Megafon) or 8 800 550-05-00 (from another operator) and ask a consultant to solve the problem.
Instructions
- If you have forgotten the login and password for your modem, but you definitely remember that these data have not been changed and they remain standard, then inspect the modem case. Many manufacturers of this device indicate on the case not only the device identification number, but also its standard login and password. In most cases, this information is very easy to remember; the login is usually the word “Admin” or the name of the manufacturer, and the password is often a simple set of numbers such as 1234 or 1111.
Login and password on the modem case - If you do not find the information you need on the case, then carefully study the documentation that is provided with the device. Most often, the login and password are written on the page on which information for accessing the modem settings is indicated.
Documentation with information is provided along with the device. A complete instruction manual for the modem can also help you; you can find it on the official website of the manufacturer of your device. - If you find the login and password for your modem, but for some reason it does not work, or you definitely remember that you changed it yourself, but cannot remember, then you will have to reset the modem to its default settings. Carefully inspect the modem case and find a small button on it; most likely it will be hidden in a small hole, similar to the hole on the emergency release drive. Use a thin wire or paper clip, but not a sharp needle, to press this button. Click on the button and wait a few seconds, the settings will be reset and you will need to enter the standard username and password. You must understand that resetting the settings will not only reset your login and password, but also reset all connection settings.
- If you were unable to restore access using the above steps, then the problem may be that the modem itself is faulty. If you have a valid warranty, contact the center where you purchased the modem or a specialized service center. If there is no warranty, then contact a center that specializes in repairing ADSL modems.
