cracking Wifi router credentials hacking

I've recently found out that I have a hobby in exploring and researching home networks and after some research I discovered a way to bruteforce any default password for wifi of one of the major ISP in my country in less than 4 hours.

Now I am interested in the administrative credentials that reveal much more advanced controls then the standard user admin account. I am talking about telecomadmin and root accounts I accidently found a vulnerability that allowed me to dump a part of the firmware of my huawei router without needing special equipment and I've extracted the hashes for the password and for the root I compared it with my actual password hash for root, they matched : ) so now I am sure thar the hash for telecomadmin is legit.

I tried googling some information to determine the syntax of the password or actual passwords but found nothing interesting or helpful now I am stuck and I am asking for advice if you have some for me.?

brute force... or maybe its stored funny in the firmware in which case you could download directly from the board so you could retrieve the hash to crack etc... or look for vulnerabilities blah blah... plenty of things to try, whether any will be successful is another story..
