I did a opps, I got a new wbr2-G54S and I tftped the new v23 SP2 final generic on the router without installing the micro version first.
Now I can't login the password doesn't seem to work.
I have tftped different version and I still can't get it to work including the micro version.
it is weird the ssid on the info page shows the mac address instead of dd-wrt
I have tried different ways of resetting the router to no avail
Any suggestions?

When you tftp'd the sp2 final onto it, it basically assumed that you already have dd-wrt on it, which well, shortly said, will cause problems.
Login password can be changed, just telnet into it, and do
nvram set http_passwd = "password"
nvram commit
then it should apply a new password.
ssid shows mac address, because on buffalo routers, the default ssid is their mac address.
Maybe you should take a backup of the nvram, then clear it, and put the micro on it again?
I'm going to try tftp'ing the micro again to my wbr2-g54s after i've cleared nvram, and i'm going to see what happens.

I tried to telnet into it but the username root with password admin doesn't seem to work
is there a timing issue of telneting in so that I don't get a username and password? _________________ 3 x wrt54g v5 wds v23 SP2 (09/13/06) micro

Since the password is now encrypted, I think that this will end with a box you cannot login ..... _________________ - WRT54gs v4 @ 225 Mhz - DD-WRT V24 vpn -

Well, it worked for me when i had the EXACT same issue.
So, yes, it does actually work. Just remember to 'fix' the username/password in the web interface when you've done this.
If telnet doesn't work (for some odd reason), try ssh instead (ssh didn't work for me, no idea why, and it still doesn't work??!).
I had the same problem after using tftp to flash my WBR2-G54 router
I could ping the router, even see the webgui login prompt or telnet to router.
I had been using user: root & pass: admin or the old password,
the methods mentioned in forum or wiki even reset to factory default (hard reset)
but with no luck, neither could work ...
I tried different version of dd-wrt from sp1 to sp2, from day 1 to day 31 ...
same result ... very sad at this time ...
Then, I tried to flash my router with openwrt using tftp.
After that, I could login my router webgui again ... happy ... ...
I known my router wasn't bricked yet.
What you need to do at this moment, telnet to your router and reset the password to "admin" without double quotation mark.
Now you can flash your router with dd-wrt (I used sp2 26/08 mini generic) firmware.
You can login your router using root/admin now.
Hints:
1. set fixed ip for your pc
2. ping your router ip in command prompt (e.g. ping 192.168.11.1 -t),
do NOT CLOSE the prompt all the time during updating
3. right time to tftp your router
after power on your router, you should see the value TTL=100 for 5 - 10 seconds
e.g. Reply from 192.168.11.1: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=100
after completely boot up, the value should change to TTL=64
e.g. Reply from 192.168.11.1: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=64
You can only TFTP the firmware while the value is TTL=100.
Thanks for the info, I will try it tonight when I get home _________________ 3 x wrt54g v5 wds v23 SP2 (09/13/06) micro

Hope this can help.

Ken, If you don't mind, i'll add that to the wiki?
Just wondering if BrainSlayer can release a special firmware which is removed (empty) password. The login problem will be simply fixed. Would BrainSlayer please consider to release it?

Hi,
So I followed the wiki and success, thanks for the quick reply I was able to flash it without a problem.
Based on the other routers that people are having password problems with, I assume this fix should work for them too.
Thanks
John
Maybe this works for other routers too?
Should consider checking with other users if this could be good to add to some kind of 'debrick your router' wiki entry.
