Say what dd-wrt build you are using. One recent build had issues of this type. _________________ On 61465: 3x Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys MX4200v2, 2x MR7350. WPA2personal/WPA3 w/ AES, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), Two SmartDNS/DoT providers and one DNSCrypt provider via VPNs. DNSmasq manages that plus ad blocking and local DNS.

Only Netgear seems to retain the default WIFI passwords, not the login password, in DD-WRT that I am aware of. As stated many times ad infinitum, after you are greeted with the password change page after reset, you set a password (and username if you choose), and then navigating anywhere away from the info page will require you to use the username and password set there. Default username is always root unless otherwise changed for the webUI and will always be root for telnet and ssh. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
