Someone gave me a couple of Linksys WRT54GL routers with HSMM-Mesh already installed. They changed the root password from hsmm to something that they do not remember. The instructions I found include installing from the factory image (not installed) or from the setup tab (which I do not have access to). My computers are Windows based. How to I reinstall or install a newer version without that access? If I need something on my computer (such as TFTP), which would you recommend? I have tried the standard way or resetting the router to reset the password, but that does not seem to work. I know the end of life for these have passed, just wanting to play until I can dig up Ubiquity or other routers.

Thank you,

Thomas

Excellent, thank you . . . instead of doing "setpasswd abc" (which did not seem to work for the password I entered), I did the "cat /etc/httpd.conf" (figured out why my password did not work, or at least it appeared it did not like some of the characters I entered).

KF5JIM your video on user name and password recovery is vary help full. But my linksys WRT54GL will not go into the failsafe mode by pressing the reset button and holding it. Is there a trick to this version linksys? wb6mvp
