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.
Additional User notes:
- I had problems changing a password that included a special character using the command line method. Using only alpha-numeric characters worked fine. forum post Special charaters can be entered through web gui password change page or Admin tab. [redhawk0]
