Personally I wouldn't want to mess with that router as anything not
expected (I didn't say anything wrong) will likely be blamed on your
"adjustments" for the next decade or two.

And yes I'm also a bit puzzled as to why you'd need access to use VOIP.

There are 11 ports that needs to be directed towards the voip device.
each time one of the ports will be functional, apparently random.
it's true that the other tenents won't be able to use this voip
service, but the liklyhood of them using the exact same service (which
i'm using abroad) is 0.
is there a way to hack this linksys router, maybe by download the image
via TFTP?
what's the name of this file on the router?

There are two ways to change a firmware image on a Linksys router. The
first way is to use the GUI in the router's configuration pages. The
second way is to use a TFTP program you can download from Linksys.
Both methods require knowing the rotuer's admin password.

Perhaps Warren was putting too sharp a point on things. Allow me to be
more blunt...what you are proposing to do is illegal & if you are in
America such an act would be considered an act of terrorism under the
Homeland Security Act punishable by at least 5 years in jail.

If you wish to break the law you will find no help here.

Then get your ISP to reset your ISP password, give the new password to the
IT people who put your original password in the router to simply change
it.

The other choices are the one you mention of getting the password to the
router so you can make the changes yourself, or the other choice is to
hack into a system that you don't have permission to have access to. That,
by the way, would be illegal.

There is one more choice. You can do nothing.

But the bottom line is as I suspected: It's not your router.
