16:00
Speaker 2
[silence] [silence] That's the [silence] reason I [silence] asked. [silence] Understand. [silence] Understand. [silence] That's the reason why I [silence] asked if we [silence] can test the [silence] mobile to [silence] verify if there is [silence] [silence] signal. [silence] Your [silence] Philips is the [silence] [silence] black one or [silence] the white one? [silence] the [silence] white one. [silence] Yes.

A recovery key. Is that what you want? Network. I don't see anything like that. Oh, it's hyphen, zero, zero, 15C. And then there's a password. Okay, give me a second. I did. And I just tried it, and it's still denying. Pass. That's not the password. I tried a recovery kit. I used the routers that are actually used by this place and put it on a screen here to try to remember your password, and I still can't, so. Another, another recovery key that I obtained is erc--000963. Ever think like that? [silence] Followed by RC, hyphen, 1196, hyphen, as well, 9459, hyphen? BC72 and this password is denied as well.
