make sure the wan port is plugged in to something, other wise the "pppd" command won't be running

Thanks! This method works for DGA0122 as well. Use top instead ps command.

Any idea for the DGA4135?

If the router firmware is based on customzied OpenWRT, you can try:

uci show network.wan.password
uci show network.wan

As someone else has said, for the model Technicolour 4135, the password for user 'engineer', is under the sticker on the back of the router. Took me a while to work out, but all good now. I bought a new Router as the Trooli one was blocking outgoing for certain Apps, which can be fixed by setting the Firewall to 'Low', and the wireless was a bit flakey, as well as the switch being very temperamental if it had a hard power down. Good luck!
