I was messing with a startup script while away from home (I know, I should have left it alone), and something I did to the services-start script is now preventing my router from booting. I can ask a friend to go over and reboot it, but it will probably still crash when it tries to load the script again. Is there a way to disable the jffs (or services start) without completely resetting my (a68u) router to its defaults? Thanks for any advice.
 
If the script prevents the router from booting, then there's no other alternative than doing a factory default reset.
 
That is what I figured, thanks for the feedback. Fortunately, whatever I did just caused the router to take an extraordinarily long time to boot. About 15 min later I was able to access again and back out my changes.
