[Changed root pass in web interface]

Try the password up to, but not including, the quote

The first word in my password was "It's". If I remember my panicked password entries from yesterday, I think I tried "It" and that was rejected as well.

Yeah, this should work. 2.7.1 has an update to the reset button AND to the password field, sanitizing it better.

I suggest you upgrade soon!

I'll be upgrading as soon as possible.

Ah. Apologies for the dumb mistakes.

You are correct. Around 6 seconds, the WLAN light went off for a while, came back, same results. Tried the reset again and now I'm back in.

I'm on 2.7.0 which I also see is right before a reset update.

Sorry & Thanks.

Yep. Can't ssh in. Both the default and the new password are rejected.

I changed the root password in the web interface and now I can't get in with either my new password or the default, pineapplesareyummy. Holding the reset button for 30 seconds seems to have no effect.

1. My password used an apostrophe. Is it possible that that character was botched when passing it through to sh? And if so, might that mean I can use an escaped code for the apostrophe?

2. The other forum posts that mention password issues lead me to believe that my only recourse is reflashing the thing but I'm finding this hard to swallow. There's gotta be SOMETHING else I can do, right?
