Can't log into web admin after reflashing

[vfr800]

I have tried ssh; if I attempt to use the admin password as "password" or the root password as "password" I still cannot get in. It ssems totally bricked becuase I have no access with any password at the web page or using ssh - what can I do?

In that case the easiest solution is probably to try to restore via TFTP, as DoesItMatter suggested previously.

Eric, I did that successfully but now have another problem after setting up bridging! (see here: http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... ?f=6&t=176)

I do want to persevere with Gargoyle, so please help!

I encountered the same issue following an upgrade. I wound up getting it mostly sorted out.

Looking through the various files, I found that a timeout setting was not set:

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:/www/utility# uci get gargoyle.global.session_timeout
uci: Entry not found

I set it to an arbitrary value:

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:/www/utility# uci set gargoyle.global.session_timeout=1000

and found that I was now able to get past the secondary password check using the root password (same as used in the first authentication).

I still had the issue with getting both prompts, but at least could now get in and change settings, or in my case, decide to blow away my minimal config, upgrade to a newer version and start from scratch.
