Solution Jtyle6 Posted December 13, 2021 Solution Share Posted December 13, 2021 If it's was running the lastst firmware. Quote On firmware versions 1.1.0 and later, you may reset a lost password by holding the Reset button for 7 seconds or longer. Upon success, the LED will flash a rainbow colour sequence and reboot. After the device reboots, you will be able to login with the password hak5pineapple. You are strongly advised to change this after logging in. https://help.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/faq/password-reset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Password Reset was only added recently. And I don't know how old the instruction manual is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
