I went through the same thing with my WRT-54GL's a few days ago. I wound up having to use the procedure at: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/71-using-safe-mode-to-reset-a-forgotten-password.html to recover. I strongly recommend using the specified password in the above document. Once you can reliably reboot then you can change to something you like. I found that if I used 12 character length passwords upon reboot I could not get back in. However using the 3 character password specified in the doc I could get back in after reboot. I have not experimented beyond using 4 characters at this point. Chuck
