Huawei HG8145V5 Default Password & Login Setup Guide

The Huawei HG8145V5 is a widely deployed GPON Optical Network Terminal (ONT) used by fiber operators worldwide. This guide provides the default administrator credentials, details how to log into the 192.168.100.1 gateway, and explains how to configure Wi-Fi and resolve fiber connectivity errors.

GPON Fiber Authentication Warning

Never execute a factory reset on your HG8145V5 ONT unless you have written down your GPON LOID (Logical ONT Identifier) password. Resetting the device will delete this key, disconnecting you from the fiber network until your ISP re-provisions the line.

1. HG8145V5 Default Login and Credential Configurations

Use the following credential configurations to log into your Huawei HG8145V5 ONT. Keep in mind that different accounts provide different configuration permissions:

UsernamePasswordPrivilege LevelAvailable Configuration Options
telecomadminadmintelecomRoot AdministratorFull access. Create WAN profiles, configure VLAN tags, bridge mode, port forwarding, and voice.
rootadminStandard UserLimited access. View system diagnostics, configure basic Wi-Fi keys, and check optical power levels.
adminadminStandard UserLimited access. Standard fallback login configuration for older firmware revisions.

2. How to Access the HG8145V5 Admin Page

If the default IP address does not load, follow this troubleshooting guide to restore access:

Check Your Local IP Subnet

If the ONT is connected to a secondary router, your computer might be receiving an IP address from the secondary router's subnet (such as 192.168.1.X or 192.168.3.X). To load 192.168.100.1, disconnect your secondary router, plug your PC directly into the ONT, and reboot your computer to lease a fresh IP from the ONT's DHCP server.

Query Optical Signal Power

Log in as a standard user (root/admin) and navigate to Status > Optical Information. Verify that the Rx Optical Power is between -8 dBm and -27 dBm. If it is lower than -27 dBm (e.g. -30 dBm), the optical signal is too weak, causing packet loss and interface disconnects.

Quick Fix Checklist

  • 1Connect your computer to LAN Port 1 or LAN Port 2 of the HG8145V5 using an Ethernet cable.
  • 2Open your web browser and navigate to the default ONT IP: http://192.168.100.1.
  • 3Try entering the high-privilege credentials: telecomadmin / admintelecom.
  • 4Use root / admin as a secondary fallback login if admintelecom is rejected.
  • 5Do not factory reset the ONT unless you have documented your GPON LOID authorization key.

Common Root Causes

ISP Remote TR-069 Changes

Fiber internet providers push automatic firmware configurations that rewrite the default telecomadmin logins to secure custom credentials.

LOID Authentication Failures

Performing a hardware reset wipes ISP authorization credentials, preventing the ONT from syncing with the GPON fiber line.

Wrong LAN Port Hookups

Connecting your PC to LAN ports configured for IPTV or VoIP prevents your computer from leasing an IP and accessing the login page.

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Resolution Flow

  1. 1

    Establish Wired Ethernet Link to the HG8145V5

    Because the HG8145V5 is a GPON Optical Network Terminal (ONT), configuring settings over Wi-Fi can lead to dropped sessions during network commits. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable from your computer's network interface card to LAN Port 1 or LAN Port 2 on the side panel of the Huawei ONT. Ensure that your computer's network adapter settings are configured to automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP.

    Expert Tip: Avoid using LAN Port 4 if your ISP utilizes it for IPTV bridging, as this port may not lease local IP addresses to standard computer clients.
  2. 2

    Navigate to 192.168.100.1 in Your Web Browser

    Open a web browser on your connected computer. In the URL address bar, enter the default ONT IP address 'http://192.168.100.1' and press Enter. This will load the official Huawei administration portal. If a security warning appears stating that the connection is unencrypted, click 'Advanced' and then 'Proceed' to bypass the warning and load the panel.

    Expert Tip: If the page does not load, verify that your computer has obtained a local IP in the 192.168.100.X range by typing 'ipconfig' in command prompt. If it shows 169.254.x.x, read our gateway diagnostic guides.
  3. 3

    Enter the High-Privilege 'telecomadmin' Account Credentials

    To obtain full administrative access to configure fiber settings, enter Username 'telecomadmin' and Password 'admintelecom' in the login fields. If your ISP has pushed a custom remote profile, this default might fail. In that case, look at the physical sticker on the bottom of the ONT for custom ISP access keys, or try the standard user credentials: Username 'root' and Password 'admin'.

    Expert Tip: Always prefer 'telecomadmin' over 'root' because the root profile blocks critical menus including WAN interface setups, VLAN mappings, and TR-069 ACS configuration.
  4. 4

    Perform a Hardware Reset if Custom Credentials Fail

    If the administrator logins have been modified and you cannot access the system, you must perform a hardware reset. Locate the recessed 'Reset' button on the side panel. With the ONT powered on, press and hold the button using a paperclip or SIM ejector tool for exactly 10-15 seconds. Release the button. The ONT status lights will power off and cycle. Wait 2 minutes for the system to re-initialize defaults.

    Expert Tip: Warning: Resetting your ONT will wipe your GPON LOID (Logical ONT Identifier) or SLID authorization keys. If your ISP requires LOID authentication, you will lose internet access and must contact support to re-provision the ONT.

When To Contact Your ISP

If you log in and the GPON status indicates 'O5 Operation' but the WAN IP is empty, your ISP has disabled the MAC address lease. If the LOS light is blinking red, the fiber optic cable is damaged. In both cases, contact your ISP support team to resolve the issue.

Expert Q&A & Troubleshooting Insights

What is the telecomadmin password for Huawei HG8145V5?

The factory default username is 'telecomadmin' and the default password is 'admintelecom'. This account gives full configuration control over the ONT, allowing you to configure WAN connections, VLANs, and bridge modes.

How do I set up Bridge Mode on the HG8145V5?

Log in as telecomadmin. Navigate to the WAN tab. Create or edit the WAN interface, change the WAN Mode from Route to 'Bridge', select the appropriate VLAN ID (if required by your ISP), and bind the interface to a physical LAN port (e.g. LAN 1) where you will connect your personal router.

What does a blinking LOS red light mean on HG8145V5?

A blinking red LOS (Loss of Signal) light means the ONT is not detecting optical light on the fiber interface. Check that the green fiber connector on the bottom is plugged in securely and there are no sharp bends in the cable. Contact your ISP if line levels drop below -27 dBm.

Why is the PON light flashing green?

A blinking green PON (Passive Optical Network) light indicates that the ONT is attempting to handshakes and authenticate with the ISP's central office OLT. If it blinks indefinitely, the ONT is not provisioned on the provider's network or the LOID key is incorrect.

How do I change the Wi-Fi SSID and password on the HG8145V5?

Log into the admin portal, navigate to the WLAN tab. Select WLAN Configuration. Modify the SSID Name, set Security Mode to WPA2-PSK or WPA2/WPA3-PSK, enter your secure wireless password in the Pre-shared Key field, and click Apply.
