RG1000 password problem PLEASE HELP

Hi folks,
I need to change modem settings ( phone#) on my RG1000
but to my surprise I can't access the base station
It works fine it assigns IP to my laptop and I can see the RG in
setup utility ( tried Freebase and the Orinoco utility)
However I can't access the administration pages ...

Also tried soft reset but the password is still incorrect.

I have tried usual password that worked fine couple weeks ago
and default passwords like public, and the 6 digit # on the base station, -
NONE working


Please save my sanity .....

Thanks for your time !

Anyone ... ?

Did you try the Forced Reload mode: startup the unit, wait for 3 or 4
seconds, than press the reload button for more than 10 seconds untill
the unit ends up with the Power LED amber. Now access the unit with the
RG Set-up utility or AP Manager via the Ethernet inteface (WLAN is not
active in this mode) and reload the latest image.

Kind regards,
Johan

Thanks for your time Johan !
I was just about to do that but then I gave it one more try and my password
started to work again !!!
Why ??? - I have no idea but I'm glad

Thanks again
George
