MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.5.6 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

[ExtremeFiretop]

Just wandering as Backupmon does a daily backup of my router settings, could I revert to an earlier setting as a solution?
Not sure if it backs up password.
Just really frustrated how the password could have changed.

The password will be the same one you use for SSH. They should not be different.

If you can access SSH, you should be able to access the WebUI, unless something is fundamentally more broken as mentioned by @Ripshod .

From the MerlinAU angle, the question remains, does validating the password with the TAB key over SSH display the correct password? Does checking the username using the nvram command I provided match what you were expecting? If not, that would be the first thing to drill into.

Yes backupmon backs up your router credentials, but any backupmon questions should generally be directed to its own thread.

That said, BACKUPMON would likely be your get-out clause. Wind back, see what happens.

For SSH I don't use a password, just public key.
From the MerlinAU angle, the TAB key displayed a similar password except there was an extra characacter and the first character was lower case.
So I can now login to the gui with the password displayed by the TAB key.
Thank you very much.
The only explanation is I must have changed the password and not updated Bitwarden password manager! Which is very unlike me.

Things happen, I sometimes do something similar with my password manager at the office, and then shoot myself in the foot down the line when I require that password.

I'm happy we were able to help you narrow it down. Enjoy!
