How to Unlock your Linksys SPA2102-R
Mar.24, 2010 in
Fort Collins VoIP Video
Please rate 5 stars if this helps you! I got an old Sunrocket/Teleblend Linksys (sipura) SPA2102-R from ebay. It was locked. I beat my head against a wall for 3 hours before I finally figured out how to unlock it. It’s not hard, but this video would have helped me. Now that I’ve got it working, I can use it on any voip network I want. This is a good place to read the steps, as with a few more pieces of information. blog.bentosys.com

We bought 24 SPA2102-R’s DIRECTLY from Sunrocket as we know them.
We were going to buy more if this worked.
Out of the box I tried this and it DOES NOT WORK ON THE 2102R
You can try them if you want for $5.

Does anyone have a better breakdown including the Apache Server and where the directory and files are placed?
March 24th, 2010 at 7:39 am
I can understand that.
You need to find and download the linksys2102-sunrocket.cfg file. Then you rename that file to your mac address with a .cfg suffix. For example, 001122334455.cfg if your Mac Address was 00:11:22:33:44:55.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the nice video. I think there are a few gaps that will make it impossible for the average user to follow, though.
The big one for me is that we are told to find and download an important file called “linksys2102-sunrocket.cfg”. Well and good.
A few minutes later we are told about an important file whose *name* should match our MAC address (but not what the contents of this file should be) and that “linksys2102-sunrocket.cfg” is not really important.
HUH??

How do you know it is a SunRocket. I was using 5Linx and when we pull up the Admin it say “Customized” 5Linx. Has anyone cracked this situation yet?

**Correction** You log onto it through the LAN port on the SPA after reset, not the WAN port. WAN configuration is disabled by default but you can turn it on in the admin menu. Turning on WAN configuration is how you can put these behind a router and yet still have access to the settings. This is how I have mine set up.

Reset the SPA with it disconnected to the internet. This clears the password. Then log onto it and turn off provisioning before hooking back up to the internet.

These devices automatically set a password whenever they are hooked up to the internet. If you disconnect them from the internet and then reset them, there will be no password. You have to turn off provisioning before you can hook it back up to the internet.
They default to LAN administration. You can log onto it and enable WAN administration so that you can put it behind a router, yet still get into it.

Temporarily disconnect from the internet. Pick up the phone and dial **** then dial 73738# (RESET). Now log into your SPA. You will need to be hooked up to the internet port of the SPA. Best to go through a router. Now you can log on with no password. Go to admin, advanced and then provisioning. Turn provisioning to “NO”.
This will clear the password of ANY SPA-2102 regardless of provider. Now you can do as the video shows. Just skip the password step.

Well I did mine in a different way by factory reset code, cause i have a different VOIP carrier, i don’t think you can help me then? oh well
BUT do you know if the spa2102 has a default password for admin panel cause i’m locked out
I have the right to know

Did you even watch the video? If you didn’t set things up as described, or if the SPA2102 you have isn’t from Sunrocket, then I personally won’t be able to help you any more than what’s already posted.

Hi, I’m having problems, I did a factory reset on my SPA2102 and everything is unlocked, what i want to do is enable WAN to access the admin on the SPA2102 through my router but the password 79309925# is invalid also 78778839# is also invalid, can someone help me. thank you

You’ll have to see if it tries to fetch the configuration file. It would involve a pretty advanced knowledge of IP – you’d have to set up a private network adn a sniffer to see what IP it was looking for, then what file it was requesting, then change the IP and filename accordingly. The IP in the video is only for Sunrocket/Teleblend. Lingo will use something different. I wasn’t able to find the IP or filename anywhere on the net, but Google for it anyway. Should be the same process.

I have one of these unit but locked to Lingo … Can i use the same procedure to unlock it ?
March 24th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Passwd was 79309925 (though SPA had rejected it initially). I had to try 3 times.
I downloaded and installed free Apache web server. Good luck.

rajivasati What was the password
where did you get that web server
March 24th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Thanks a lot for this informational video. I am able to unlock my SPA and access the admin menu. Woohooo…..
March 24th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Good news. I just got back after a week and tried the same procedure out. It all worked fine and I am able to access the admin menu. I just reconfigured the SIP to talk to a free SIP service.
Thank you so much for this excellent video and insightful help.

Make sure to follow this EXACTLY as stated in the video. IP Address as well as spelling of the directory (SPA must be caps), all this makes a difference. I was able to unlock it and now use it with a VOIP. Thanks for the video. Cant believe I finally got it working.

Hi,
I have been trying this procedure since last 2 days, but no success. I am getting stuck at the point of setting correct IP of router. If I set the IP of my router to be 67.133.234.1, I am no longer able to connect to it with my PC (I tried both 192.1681.1. and 67.133.234.1). I have to then do a hard reset of my router to be able to connect to it. Could you give some detailed instructions regarding changing the IP, please. That would be very helpful.
March 24th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Please ignore my previous response as I am able to access the SPA unit both via the phone and via the computer (though the power LED keeps flashing intermittently). I tried both passwords you suggested, but they are invalid.
I will try one more time to download the config. Will let you know. Thanks.
March 24th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Yah, I had downloaded the same config file mentioned in the video. Now, the SPA keeps power cycling and gives no chance to access it.

@txnascarguy — Set your web server IP as one of those two IP addresses, and DHCP in the same /24 (147.135.8.0/24 or 147.135.0.0/24). Other than the different IP addresses, you should be good!
