password problem

Post by dieres »

I have upgraded from openwrt to gargoyle my wr1043nd via console. Now gargoyle shows up on http://192.168.1.1 but password is not accepted for login :( .

before doing sysupgrade -v gargoyle.bin I have executed firstboot to go back to defaults.

But now I cannot login. Neither with gargoyle standard root/password nor openwrt standard root/(empty pass).

And now ??

Gargoyle should have OpenWrt failsafe modus? So that should give me access to the router? I'll try

Edit:
That did it! pressing qss button quick and multiple when sys led starts to blink untill blinking becomes quicker, then telnet into the box
do mount_root and give root a new password with passwd.
after a reboot verything is working as expected.
