How to reset password settings?
Hi all,
After installing dd-wrt and seeing that 24 sp1 still needs more work I decided to install Oleg's firmware.
Since direct upgrade failed I used nvram-clear and nvram-recover and the installed Oleg's firmware.
Now the router boots fine , but I can't access it either from telnet or via web interface because it won't accept my password.
I tried admin/admin , admin/"" and the password settings I used with dd-wrt before reformat.
Neither work.
One thing I forgot to mention is that wireless SSID is visible as dd-wrt even though I have run nvram-clear and nvram-recover many times.
Ok I was able to solve the problem.
I will post the solution in case someone needs it in the future.
First of all i would like to say that nvram-clear and nvram recover didn't work for me even though I tried numerous times.
Now in recover mode I was able to telnet and inspect the nvram.
Sure enough all dd-wrt stuff was there (including encrypted username and password).
I tried resetting them to be blank , but that didn't help either.
Then I decided to try and install the stock firmware.
Strangely this one worked and I was able to login using default username and password.
Just in case I used reset to factory defaults and then reinstalled Oleg's firmware 1-9-27-10 and now I am able to login.
