    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    that's what I found. So I ended up doing a factory reset. Put back all my settings. Now I can change it via the GUI. So far twice.

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    I was able to change using https://www.snbforums.com/threads/how-to-reset-encrypted-admin-password-via-ssh.77786/post-749920 answer. But after doing that I still couldn't change it in the web. I eventually took screenshots of the most critical areas and did a factory reset. That did solve the...

    Setting up an AIMesh node - basic help

    I had a problem a few months ago not being able to change my password. Did a reset and rebuild the settings from scratch then. I did get it working but not via wifi. I saw a youtube suggesting connecting via ethernet and then unplugging. That seemed to work although when unplugged it sat and...

    Setting up an AIMesh node - basic help

    I've had an RT-AC86U for a few years. I'm running almost most current merlin (just saw a new update this morning so I'm one back(386.5_2)). I have set up a mesh network but thought it would help so I bought another RT-AC86U First note. I have not tried to update the firmware as it is brand...

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    I have been able to update the password since doing a factory reset. Not a lot of time has gone by but it seems OK so far.

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    figured I'd try updating to the current version. Didn't work of course. Have backed up stuff and will try resetting this weekend

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    I have tried it from another machine using a browser that I have done absolutely nothing to except a couple bookmarks and have the same problem. But given I don't use the browsers on that machine it was simple to uninstall chrome and re-install. Same result. I also tried Edge which I'm not...

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    no errors. I cleared the console after clicking on 'system'. popped up the change dialog, filled it in, click OK. No messages at all. Will try your reset & restore tomorrow

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    Is there a way to get a readable dump of my settings in case I end of doing a reset? Or, would it be reason able to do a save and restore? I actually have a save from today but I guess would do it again for the new password. Maybe reapply the current firmware? Newest firmware?

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    yep, same problem. Usually use firefox. Used chrome on the other machine. Same thing. Logs in OK but the change password dialog says invalid current password.

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    I didn't need to recover my password. I know what it is. I can log in fine. It is just that the change dialog isn't accepting the current password. I was able to SSH in like the link. That actually resets the password back to admin which forces a password change. And that worked although a...

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    is there anything to be done at this point? Or do I have to do a factory reset. I don't have those specific characters but similar

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    got down to 4 characters and still no good. PITA as it forces a re-login every 5 failures

    Can't Change RT-AC86U password

    will give that a try. Is there some bug with non alphas? I do have numerals, upper/lower case letters, and special characters. Not > 32 but is greater than 15. I tend to change the length when I change the password as a bit more security.
