Change the username and password used to log into the Web Interface.

usage: setuserpasswd [username] [password]

e.g.

root@DD-WRT:~# setuserpasswd myuser mypassw0rd


Notes:

  • This command automatically commits changes into nvram.
  • Telnet/SSH username will remain root!
  • Telnet/SSH password may not take effect immediately. In this case also run the setpasswd command.
  • The username and password are stored securely in nvram variables, hashed with salt.
