I need to retreive the DSL password burried inside my linksys router,
but I also don't know the router's password (tried "admin" and it's not
it).
Is there a way to hack into this router? maybe through TFTP?
Can I download the entire image via TFTP?
Please don't suggest resetting the router to default because then i'll
loose my dsl password.
Thanks

Why don't you just have your ISP reset your password?

You've got two problems: You don't have your router password, and you
don't have your ISP password. The solution is also two-fold: Reset the
router to factory defaults, and call your ISP to have your password reset.
The only way that's not a practical solution is if for some reason getting
new passwords is a problem. For example, if we're not talking about your
router, or your ISP account, and new passwords would be a problem for the
real owner of the router and ISP account.
In other words, forget about any backdoor methods of hacking into the
router and/or ISP account. If they're your accounts, just get the
passwords reset. If they're not your accounts, forget about it.

This router is a centralized router for the entire building and that's
why i don't have the password. I'm using it by permission.
Why don't ask the building owner for the password? Try explaining to a
primitive person that incoming ports redirection will not harm the
other users... (i need it for my voip, not emule..)

From your description, I would guess the router would be configured to
assign IP addresses via DHCP and port redirection requires a static IP
address. You'll have to ask the manager to make the required changes.
I don't know anything about voip. Would all customers receive traffic
on the same port? if so, only one tenant in the building could install
it since the WAN side of the router presents a single IP address to the
outside world.
