Title: Pressed to quickly enter, now it won't accept my password. Any idea....?
Post by: HHawk on May 31, 2012, 11:55:29 PM

Okay I had to make some minor changes to my internet connection (I wanted to disable QOS and traffic shaping), however during setup, I didn't reenter the password, because it was showing: ●●●●●●●●●

So I thought it was still using my 'old' password, however upon reboot, I cannot access my router, it says "Invalid Password", while I didn't change it. I also tried enter ●●●●●●●●●, but that didn't work as well...

Anyone else experienced this problem?

And are there any other solutions, other than resetting the router, because I don't want to lose my configuration settings, which I have made to the router and my Port Forwarding setup. :S

Try using a different browser like FF or Opera and see if they can get in. You sure the PW has been changed?

Yes, I tried different browsers. Apparently the old password, which I know for sure hasn't changed, didn't work anymore.

Anyways, I found an old backup files which contained my older settings, so I resetted the router and loaded the old config. Luckily it's working once again.

It's weird that the password changed, because I know for sure I didn't touch or change it!

Do you have your current config saved to file by chance?
