I've got a C2000A. sh is password protected, but I do have access to ps and cat. I used ps to find the PID of pppd (and partial command line) then did cat /proc/$PID/cmdline to get the user/pass.

Still works great on the C2100T. Glad I found this, as calling CenturlyLink's customer support for any reason at all is an exercise in futility.
ONE NOTE: if you've changed the login username/password for the admin web login on the router, you'll still have to use the origninal logon/password from the modem's CenturyLink label to telnet in, apparently changing the admin login/pass only affects the web logon credentials.
