Users often encounter a situation where they need to connect a new device to their home network, but the access key is lost or forgotten. In the case of a provider ByFly (Beltelecom) The default factory data may have been changed during initial setup by the technician or by you. Restoring this information is possible in several ways, depending on whether you have physical access to the router and whether at least one computer is connected to the network.
There are three main scenarios: using the reset button on the modem itself, entering the web settings interface, or viewing saved data in the Windows operating system. The method you choose depends on your specific situation. and whether you have administrator rights on the device. In this article, we'll cover each of these in detail so you can restore internet access in minutes.
Resetting the router to factory settings
The most reliable and guaranteed way to find the password is to reset the router to factory settings. This will return the device to its factory default state, and you'll be able to use the information printed on the sticker on the bottom of the device. This method is suitable if you haven't changed the default administrator login and password before, or if other methods don't work.
To perform a reset, locate the small hole on the back of the router labeled as Reset or RestoreYou'll need a thin object, such as a straightened paperclip or toothpick. Press the button inside the hole and hold it for 10-15 seconds until the lights on the front panel turn off and then turn back on. This means the reset and memory clearing process has begun.
⚠️ Please note: After resetting your router, your provider's configuration will be lost. If connecting to Byfly internet required creating a PPPoE connection with the login and password specified in the contract, your internet may stop working until you reconfigure these settings in the web interface.
After rebooting, connect to the Wi-Fi network using the key on the sticker. The fields are usually listed there. SSID (network name) and Wireless Key or WPA/WPA2 Password. For models ZTE, TP-Link or Huawei, which is often provided by the provider, this data is unique for each device.
Accessing router settings via a browser
If you don't want to reset the settings, you can try finding the current password through the router's web interface. To do this, the device you're logging in from must be connected to the router via cable or Wi-Fi. Open any browser and enter the gateway's IP address in the address bar. For Byfly devices, this is most often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
The system will ask for authorization. The default credentials are often printed on the same sticker as the Wi-Fi password. This is usually the login admin and password admin, or a unique code. If the technician changed the administrator password during installation and didn't tell you what it was, you won't be able to access the settings without a reset.
After successful authorization, the interface may differ depending on the device model. You need to find the section related to wireless networking. Look for tabs with the following names: Wireless, Wi-Fi or Wireless network. Within this section, find the subsection Wireless Security or Wireless security.
What to do if the page 192.168.1.1 does not open?
If your browser reports that the page is unavailable, check that the IP address is entered correctly. Also, make sure your computer's network card is set to obtain an IP address automatically (TCP/IPv4 protocol). Sometimes the gateway address can change; you can find it in the command line using the ipconfig command.
Viewing a password on a Windows computer
If you already have a laptop or computer running Windows connected to your Wi-Fi network, the operating system stores access keys in its profile. This is the easiest method and doesn't require access to the router's settings. You'll need administrator rights on the computer.
Right-click the network icon in the system tray (near the clock) and select "Network and Internet settings." In the window that opens, find "Network and Sharing Center" or go to "Change adapter settings." Find your wireless connection, right-click it, and select "Status."
In the window that appears, click the button Wireless network propertiesGo to the "Security" tab. In the "Network Security Key" field, characters will be hidden behind asterisks. To see them, check the "Show entered characters" box.
⚠️ Note: If the "Security" tab is grayed out or unavailable, this may mean your current account doesn't have administrator rights, or the network profile has been deleted from the registry. In this case, try running the Command Prompt as an administrator.
Using the command line to restore
For more advanced users, or in cases where the Windows graphical interface isn't working correctly, you can use the command line. This method allows you to retrieve a saved password even when the standard network properties menu fails. This method works on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.
Open the command prompt. To do this, press Win + R, enter cmd and press Enter. If you know the exact name of your network, enter the command to display the key directly. If you don't know the network name, first list all saved profiles.
netsh wlan show profilesFind the desired network name (SSID) in the list. Then enter the command to display the details of a specific profile. Note that the network name must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains spaces.
netsh wlan show profile name="ByFly_XXXX" key=clearIn the command output, find the "Security settings" section. The "Key Content" line will contain the password you're looking for in cleartext. This method is the most technically accurate and avoids visual errors.
☑️ Check before resetting your router
Table of standard data for routers
Users often get confused between device models, as providers may offer equipment from different manufacturers. Below is a table of the most common factory login and connection details, which may be relevant if the settings haven't been changed.
| Router model | IP address | Login | Password (admin/Wi-Fi) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTE W300 / F660 | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin / from the sticker |
| TP-Link WR740N | 192.168.0.1 | admin | admin / from the sticker |
| Huawei HG8245H | 192.168.100.1 | root | admin / from the sticker |
| D-Link DIR-300 | 192.168.0.1 | admin | empty / with sticker |
Please note that for optical terminals ONU (ONT) addresses may differ. For example, for some models Huawei the address may be 192.168.100.1If the standard addresses don't open the authorization page, check the gateway address in your network connection properties.
Android Data Recovery Apps
If you don't have a computer at hand but have a rooted Android smartphone, you can use specialized utilities. Popular apps such as WiFi Password Viewer or WiFi Key Recovery, are able to display saved passwords in the system.
Without root access, the functionality of such apps is limited: they can display a QR code to connect to another device, but they won't display the password in plain text. However, in modern versions of Android (10 and above), the "Share" feature in Wi-Fi settings also generates a QR code. Scanning it with another phone's camera allows you to connect without entering the password.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where can I find my Wi-Fi password if the sticker on my router has worn off?
If the sticker is illegible, the only solution is to access the router settings via a browser (if you know the administrator password) or view the saved password on a connected computer via the network properties. In extreme cases, you'll need to reset the router, but you'll need to contact technical support to confirm the connection type (PPPoE, IPoE) beforehand so you can reconfigure it.
Is it possible to find out the Byfly password through the subscriber's personal account?
No, your personal account on the Beltelecom website displays your tariffs, balance, and services, but not your wireless network password. The password is generated by the router itself or set locally by the user and is not transmitted to the provider's servers in clear text.
What should I do if my router requires a PUK code after a reset?
ByFly routers typically don't have a PUK code; this is a characteristic of SIM cards. If the device requests a complex code after a reset, it may be locked or require a WPS unlock code. Try the standard combinations or contact support at 123.
How do I change my password to a more complex one after recovery?
Go to your router settings (192.168.1.1) and navigate to the Wireless Security section. Select WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption and enter a new, complex password containing letters and numbers in the Password field. Be sure to save your settings by clicking Save/Apply.
