Finding out the rooters pppoe password

Ok, I'm not a fan of hacking or something, but it turned out that our new internet provider uses PPPOE password to identify the users and of course, they don't provide that password. The problem is that their router sucks and we want to use our own router which is much better. So the question was how to find the password. Well, it turned out there is a way.
In short, you have to make a backup file of your router configuration from its admin menu, and then to help comes this lovely program RouterPassView. It works with Wine, so you don't need Windows. To find the needed password, you just open the backup file with the program and Voila!
Searching for it, I also found this site for hacking your BSNL broadband router. Didn't try it, so I don't know if it works. Again, nothing illegal going on here, only me, getting the internet I paid for, without the assistance of the lousy router it comes with.
