OK THAT did not work - it reset - but still gives a password error when I just click submit (for when a blank pass should work)

 

[DaveSimmons]

(a) ask the person you bought it from?
(b) try flashing its firmware

 

[episodic]

a) I'm in the process too - I've got all this area tore apart and I'd like to get done.
b) you have to have access to the router to flash the firmware . .
