These are factory default credentials, not the password printed on the sticker under your router. If yours has been changed and you cannot recall it, a 30-second reset button hold returns the device to the defaults above. Know a Zoom model we are missing? Add it.

About Zoom

Zoom Telephonics built modems and routers, and now sells under the Motorola brand by licence.

Reaching the login page

The admin page on most Zoom units answers at http://192.168.1.1. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.

None of the Zoom entries here are for a web interface — they are reached over console, which means a terminal or a serial console rather than a browser.

If the Zoom password has already been changed

This is not hardware you reset with a paperclip. Recovery runs through the console port: interrupt the boot sequence, tell the bootloader to ignore the saved configuration, start up, read or clear the password, then save and reboot. The exact key sequence differs by platform and is in the vendor documentation under password recovery.

You need physical access and a serial cable for this, which is deliberate. Anything reachable only over the network cannot be recovered this way.
