Can't login to SSH after assigning a password

[Marcus Gollahon]

Ok, I am new to this type of thing and I am afraid I messed up.

Following the directions on the download screen, I got my box up and running. Then I went to set the password. I understand that on Open WRT when you are setting the password no characters are shown. I set my password then tried to log in using SSH and it is declining my password. I know my password, but how come it is declining my password now?

Please anyone help. 

Thanks,

Marcus

I am using a TL-MR3040

Hi,
in case you are using Linux or MacOS, remember adding the username:

ssh ro...@librarybox.lan

(or IP),  if omitted, it takes the current username.

This did not work. 

I have a PC. Still access denied. I can't see what I am typing so it is frustrating that it keeps telling me I am entering it in wrong.

I did that the other day. Must of been me fat fingering my SSH password. I went into fail-safe mode and did a passwd to change it. Hope that helps.

I am sorry, I do not know how to initiate fail-safe for TL 3040.

Marcus,

A lot of questions can be answered by a google search. That's how I learned, along with just messing things up and fixing them. The steps are:

Turn on the  router
Wait about 5 secs then Press the “Reset” button for 3secs
The device is now in Failsafe (should only have 1 light lit on top)
access it by telnetting to  192.168.1.1

Yes, I just found the same thing on Google. Thank you for confirming.
