Lost password

[phongvucba]

For future reference:

If you lost your password do the following:

- Take out the SD-card
- Mount it on any linux system (parttition 2)
- Edit /etc/config/httpd:

Code:

config user 'admin'
       option password 'ThisIsYourNewPassword'

- Unmount, put back the SD--card
- Login as admin with password ThisIsYourNewPassword
- Done!

On older versions the file is located in /etc/httpd.conf and looks a bit differently

Hi! I have a LM that I forgot the password for and followed your method but it didn't work.

I typed the new password here and saved it using Linux File Systems for Windows by Paragon Software. But when I reinsert the LM, the new password still says the password is wrong.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I would appreciate it.
I use LM firmware 20240426
