What model linksys is this?

Are you also using "admin" (no quotes) as the password? If not, give that a try and see if you don't get in. Also, make sure you're connecting to the correct IP address. You can verify that in the manual. It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. ***William Henley***

I think that default for linksys is admin and admin, name and password both. And it's case sensitive, so NO CAPS. Reflash it with dd-wrt, if you can, you'll love that. I'm a toxic agent, on a dangerous mission so secret, that even I don't know what it is, because if I did, I would have to kill myself.

Microsuck Having tried dd-wrt and several other 3'd party firmwares I have to disagee with you completely. While ok, dd-wrt is not the best. Tomato is a much better firmware and unlike dd-wrt, you can actually remove/replace Tomato quite easily should you need/want to. The makers of dd-wrt have made it next to impossible to remove their crap so you're forced to keep using it should you ever make the mistake of installing it on a router.

From my experiences hard resetting the device and then reflashing the stock firmware is pretty straighforward. I suppose others could have had different experiences. I've always wanted to try Tomato but have had such good luck with DD-WRT that I have never bother, yet. Tony
