Need the default credentials for your Huawei Wi-Fi router, LTE gateway, or fiber ONT terminal? This guide provides the complete manufacturing default username and password matrix, model-specific access keys, and recovery options when default logins fail.
Many modern telecom operators override Huawei's default 'admintelecom' password during setup for security purposes. If factory defaults fail, check your ISP service contract or look for a custom credential sticker affixed by the installer.
Use the following matrix to identify the default credentials for your Huawei device family. Ensure you are attempting login on the corresponding gateway IP address:
| Device Family / Models | Default Gateway | Default Username | Default Password | Access Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber GPON ONTs (HG8145V5, HG8245H, EG8145V5) | 192.168.100.1 | telecomadmin | admintelecom | Global Root / Full Admin |
| Fiber GPON ONTs (Standard User fallback) | 192.168.100.1 | root | admin | Restricted User / Read-Only |
| AX Series (WiFi AX3, AX3 Pro, AX2) | 192.168.3.1 | None (Setup Wizard) | User Defined | Full Administrator |
| 4G/5G SIM Routers (B535, B818, B311) | 192.168.8.1 | admin | admin | Full Administrator |
| Legacy ADSL Modems (HG532, HG531) | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin (or @HuaweiHG521) | Full Administrator |
If default passwords do not allow you to log in, someone has customized the login keys. Follow this structured recovery path to restore router access:
During the initial setup of consumer routers like the AX3, the configuration assistant asks the user: "Set as router login password?". If this checkbox was selected, your administrator password matches the security password you use to connect devices to Wi-Fi. Try entering your Wi-Fi password.
To perform a hard reset: Keep the router plugged into power. Locate the Reset hole. Press a pin inside the button and hold it firmly for 12 seconds. Watch the status LED; it will turn off or flash red. Release the pin and wait 2 minutes for the bootloader to clear and re-initialize default parameters. Learn more about this in our general router reset guide.
Strengthen your network knowledge by reviewing our related resource guides:
Upstream ISP servers modify factory logins during fiber line activation to prevent residential users from altering WAN settings.
The router setup wizard forces a custom password configuration on initial boot, rendering printed factory defaults obsolete.
Pressing the reset button for less than 10 seconds only reboots the router instead of wiping the NVRAM configuration partition.
Every Huawei device has a physical manufacturing label attached to its bottom panel or rear casing. Locate this sticker. It contains crucial security metadata: your model number, default Wi-Fi network name (SSID), factory Wi-Fi security key (WPA/WPA2/WPA3), and the default local IP gateway. For consumer routers, if there is no default password printed, the router uses a setup wizard where you must define a custom password on the first boot.
If you are attempting to access a Huawei Optical Network Terminal (GPON ONT) supplied by a fiber provider, standard consumer passwords will not work. Access the login screen at 192.168.100.1. Try entering Username 'telecomadmin' and Password 'admintelecom'. If this fails, the ISP has customized the root configurations. Standard user login alternatives are Username 'root' and Password 'admin'.
If you or your service provider changed the administrator password and you cannot remember it, you must perform a hardware reset. Locate the tiny 'Reset' hole on the router. With the device powered on, press and hold the button inside using a pin for 10-15 seconds. Release the button when the LEDs blink or power off. The device will wipe all custom configurations and restore factory default usernames and passwords.
If you have performed a complete factory reset and still cannot access the router admin panel using 'telecomadmin' or 'admin', your ISP has locked down the hardware firmware. Contact their support desk to request access or ask them to put the device into Bridge Mode.
The standard factory default password for the 'telecomadmin' account on Huawei GPON ONTs (such as the HG8145V5 and HG8245H) is 'admintelecom'. This account gives full root configuration rights over the optical network terminal.
Fiber optic internet service providers (ISPs) often push custom firmware configurations to ONTs. During initial provisioning, the ISP's auto-configuration server (ACS) over TR-069 protocol will rewrite the default telecomadmin password to a custom value unique to the ISP or linked to the device's serial number. Contact your ISP if standard defaults fail.
Log into the web admin interface (e.g. 192.168.3.1), navigate to the 'WLAN' or 'Wi-Fi Settings' tab. Locate your wireless network name (SSID), input your new key in the 'Pre-shared Key' or 'Wi-Fi Password' field, and click Save or Apply.
Huawei WiFi AX3 routers do not ship with a preconfigured default administrator password. During the initial out-of-the-box configuration, the setup wizard forces the user to define a custom admin password, or toggle a setting that matches the admin password to the custom Wi-Fi security key.
Most Huawei LTE mobile routers (e.g., B535, B310, B818) use 'admin' as both the default username and password. You can access the configuration dashboard at http://192.168.8.1.
