I'm trying to guess my password. Does anyone know the requirements for the password?

Also - what's the best way to brute force into the router without having it timeout?

This type of post is suspicious.

If you truly are the owner, just use the physical reset or come in via serial

This has been discussed a few times on the forum. No, I am not going to link the threads. That's the job of the search function Wink Cool

Long story short. I forgot the password and I cannot reset using 30/30/30 or 10s reset button procedure. I have no idea how the reset button got disabled. I never turned that feature on. It just does NOT reset.

I know the password could only be two normal passwords I normally use.. I just dont know the requirements for DDWRT passwords.

What is the minimum character required for the password?

you didn't tell us, what router and current build, and this can narrow the window of opportunities to the most successful one, to get back to your router...

but yep this post sounds suspicious...and serial could be your option, as this will prove, you are the owner as serial requires a physical access... Laughing Cool Rolling Eyes

otherwise there is one more option that saved my ass couple of times...ill leave you to find more about it ...tftp

Suspicious indeed.

If it can only be one of two passwords, just try each. Nothing on this planet that requires a password will lock you out after getting it wrong once.

If your reset worked, you'll be back at the change-password screen of the default dd-wrt config. It won't be asking you for your old password; it will be asking for you to choose a new one.
