In inspect element mode of the browser and while you are on the password field change input type = password to input type = text :), man who would've thought hacking WiFi would be that easy through the browser.

Open the router configuration page using a browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Right click the password box, select Inspect element.

Search for <input type="password".... and remove that bit. It should show the password in plain text

A PPPoE password is usually the one from your internet provider. I would contact them so they can reset the password. You can then change it there to what they've given you.

It is unlikely you will be able to "hack" this password, as the router will not show it to you, but will only allow you to change it to something else.

Passwords can be extracted from some routers by making a settings backup and decoding it.

I can't provide you with precise instructions because you haven't specified you router's model, but what you want to do is to download a backup of your settings. Then you'll have to search for a tool or website that will allow you to decode backup file. The password should be readable in the output.

I Know how to reveal that password in GPON ont, i was recently looking for PPPoE password too, i'm trying to change html code in inspect element, not working. I'm trying to access telnet on router, not working too, then i found 1 app for Windows, here it's called RouterPassView.

To make this app work, you need to backup your router setting first. After backup, you'll have config.cfg file.

Next, after you download RouterPassView, open it, and import your router backup file called config.cfg file, after that you'll see a lot of xml data like this

Then, find your PPPoE username and password using CTRL+F In this case, im using keyword "pass"

When you find it, you'll see

<Username dv="" ml="64" rw="RW" t="string" v="(YOUR_PPPOE_USERNAME)"></Username>

and

<Password dv="" ml="64" rw="RW" t="string" v="(YOUR_PPPOE_PASS)"></Password>

Screenshot:

There is the PPPoE password. Goodluck
