AS416 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Hi folks, I bought a tetra 2nd hand, and it boots to the web UI fine, but the password has been changed and I don't know it. I can get to the SSH login but it also needs a password. I tried "change_on_install", "hak5pineapple", and the top 2500 most common passwords - no luck. I haven't had any luck resetting it: Holding the reset button for more than 15 seconds - the amber light comes on and stays on, but the password doesn't reset Powering off, then powering back on while holding the reset button for 10 seconds - same behaviour with the light There are no dip switches on my unit, so I can't reset that way I'm pressing the button beside the power jack - on the top right of the unit relative to the pineapple logo - assuming this is the correct reset button? Any assistance would be immensely appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_pyrro Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Have you consulted the documentation? Pressing more than 15 seconds isn't a number that corresponds with the specified time for different reset scenarios. https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple-6th-gen-nano-tetra/faq-troubleshooting/firmware-recovery https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple-6th-gen-nano-tetra/faq-troubleshooting/factory-reset The reset button should be the one you refer to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS416 Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Thanks @dark_pyrro, you are a gentleman and a scholar! That worked great. Half of the documentation links on this forum are broken, and everything Google gave was for other versions of the pineapple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
