Push the reset button

Or if you still have telnet access use: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Setuserpasswd_command

If you are locked out of the GUI but have ssh access, see https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=318501.

If you are in the GUI but just want a different password, go to GUI>Adminitration>Management. It's at the top.

My understanding is (I'm not an expert) that the only user is root, so don't change the username to anything else.

I'm embarassed that I missed "for this forum" in your original question. Ignore what I said unless you lose the password for your router!

Ok, so why are you resetting your forum password if you still have access to post? Shocked
