What they are probably doing is using radius or maybe just some
standard windows login thing, and then when you give them the correct
password, the router allows your packets to go through. My University
does the same thing, except they use a little web app, so it works on
everything.

You might be able to use smbclient or something else from the samba
suite to get the password to it.

Maybe you should try asking the question on a windows admin list, or
maybe a cisco or one of the other hardware router lists, since that it
likely what's doing it.
