Thanks for this, I actually stumbled on this myself, and tried it,. I
can see the login screen and can enter 'admin' and the device Ethernet
ID, but it does not proceed inside the admin application.

This appears to be a backdoor, I doubt your brother could have changed
it if he wanted to. What format is the MAC address on the bottom of
the unit, and in what format are you entering it?

I suspect it's got ":" or "-" or something as a separator (which you
may not want), and I wonder if it's case-sensitive.

You can use 'arp -a' at a command prompt to see what it's MAC address
is, in case MAC cloning could have changed the backdoor password,
though that seems pretty broken...
