ssh encryption woes

Post by jayray »

I failed in my attempt to secure my router with SSH encryption. The key pair was created with PUTTYGEN, then I installed the public key on the router via copy/paste into a blank file. Fast forward to the next day when not only did I forget my passphrase, but Gargoyle also shows this strangeness on the system>access page.

Is there any way back from this aside from a reinstall?

the image you linked in this thread (and your other one) come up as 404 not found. Either privacy settings are blocking it, or you're using the wrong link.

You can use Failsafe mode to re-set the password.

I'll look into failsafe mode.

I edited the pic link into an img tag instead of url and changed the link within to what I hope is the correct one. But all I see now instead of my screenshot is the word "Image". Its not even clickable.

You did say the other post came up with a 404, and its also wrapped in an img tag. So you're seeing something different on your screen than I do. I can't click anything to get a 404 from.

I don't see an image either. Maybe the direct image link is broken in the forum (or browser), or whatever. The image URL works, resolves to https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN ... N2ZmlqVm9n and displays the image. Well, maybe embedding isn't possible?

Got it figured out. Google doesn't let you share a single pic, just folders. Tinypic to the rescue. :)
