Can't logon to router (Solved)

[apvm]

I recently flashed 1.7.1 to 1.7.x, after uploaded to 1.7.x and changed password, I went straight to system and uploaded my backup configuration. Everything seems fine, I can connect to the internet and all my other clients can connect too but the problem is when I try to connect to 192.168.1.1 I do not get a login page but firefox/IE both report unable to connect. I double checked ipconfig /all and default gateway is 192.168.1.1 I tried to telnet in but it said can not connect via default port 23. Please help TIA

The problem is you restored a gargoyle_httpd file, and 1.7.X now used uHTTPd.

You'll have to do a fail safe reset. And either extract the settings manually or enter them from scratch again.

Thank you so much, don't want to enter them from scratch if I don't have to, can you enlighten me how to "extract the settings manually" TIA

[Lantis]

your backup file you made is a compressed file. you should be able to open it up and look at the individual files.

well thanks, looks like it is same as starting from scratch.

Thanks fail safe works and can access router now.
