say for instance if virgin came round to do a modem install at my house and when he typed in his engineers password into the virgin media page he needs to start my subscription I had a keyboard logger and know his password!what are the benefits of this!?

the user name is 'root' and the password is 'root'.

you have no advantage apart from being able to see the config of your modem which is very, very boring!

there is no password

they just put in their tech id and then leave the rest for you to set a email up
