FortiGate PPPoE password recovery

Hi All, I' ve set a PPPoE password in FortiGate. Now, when I backup configuration to my local pc, the password had been hash or encrypt into " O+5MYduEK/YD0mpLG3TLu0EqzqaP2h9oByvk8qoRLs4oHzkIdIggVhOClI8T0wRTDbm8V4" If I forgot the original password of PPPoE, can I get the original password from backup configuration ??? thx !!

you can actually run PPP-Daemon debug, so it will tell you the PW during PPPoE Setup. # diag debug ena # diag debug app ppp 3 and initiate a PPPoE reconnect. Somewhere in that debug output you should see the PPPoE Username and PW, incl. assigned IP and DNS. -R.

I think I remember the Fortinet TAC can decode your password.

PPPoE is ISP Password you need to call your service provider that is definitely the quickest way to resolve your proble.

thx for both of your answer !! Maybe the only way to decode password from configuration file is Fortinet TAC.
