Why is that damn password change option on the MTNL webpage if they are gonna shut you out if you don't login with their password.

The database is on their servers so all changes are recorded there. The user is supposed to update the change in the ADSL but they forgot to mention this on their site. :P Another thing that happens is that after

I believe I'm ahead of you in the frust race. What I did was change the password on the site. Then launch the ADSL modem configuration and change the login details and Save. Then I had a couple of days with the new password. Then a overall network outage happened. i.e. even the 1504 ppl couldn't connect. then they came back on and I was still out. Many calls later... I had a guy asking me to do everything on the modem conf except stand on my head. In the end I happened to mention that I had changed the password to non-default value. It was like I committed some sacrilege to ancient MTNL gods. He asked me to reset it back and never change it again. I did the same and sure as hell it worked the very first time. So ... get your own conclusions. Gishu
