@BadManFifi

Read, read and read some more ..

A little known part of knowing how to hack is accomplished by this simple task..

If all else fails, make sure you post a clearly clarified post on what you have atttempted, and possibly, maybe, it will be answered by people who were onceee

in your very same position..

are their any other methods other than .dic attack

[TAPERULEZ]

@TAJN0ST

Well, there is the bruteforce option, although not really recommended.. and also some routers have vulnerabilities which could be checked out.

what if the username/login name not in the wordlist at all?

[TAPERULEZ]

@southprk76

Then the attack will fail... obviously..
