Claude saved me $800

A user reported that Claude Opus 4.8 helped them access the admin console of their EV charger after the manufacturer went out of business and default passwords failed. The user had previously tried Fable 5, which refused to help, possibly due to words like "hack" or "crack." Opus 4.8 successfully bypassed the password, saving the user an estimated $800, which would have been the cost of a new charger and professional installation.

Unlike Fable 5, Claude Opus 4.8 provided assistance for a "hacking session" to bypass a password, saving the user $800.
