Cannot login due to bug - USG-110

Hi I hit the bug where I found the solution in:

How to backup running configuration if forgot password?

by Zyxel_Stanley.

It all goes as described in the "how to" above.

But after after applying the changed conf-file I can still not log in with the password I wroted in the conf-file as described.

The change conf-file look like this as I as an example would like to use - peter12345 - as the password I would like for the admin-user:

username admin encrypted-password $4$peter12345$ user-type admin

It seems that the 'old' configuration I had running is also runnung now, but I cannot login.

The firmware now loaded is 4.33(AAPH.0). The firmware loaded when the problem started was 4.31.

Thanks.

Hi @firerabbit

You have saved wrong command in configuration file.

It should be: username admin password peter12345 user-type admin

But not: username admin encrypted-password $4$peter12345$ user-type admin

Or: username admin encrypted-password peter12345 user-type admin

have also tried:

username admin encrypted-password peter12345 user-type admin

But same result. Cannot login and seems that the 'old' configuration is runnung now.

Thanks.

username admin password peter12345 user-type admin
