Is it possible that I was locked out previously because I’d set up a password under settings and basically locked myself out? I’m curious to understand why it all of a sudden stopped allowing me access.

Hi Charlie, you didn’t say what the initial state of the mongoose service was, when you first telnet’ed in. If Auto was ‘Off’ then you must have turned off ‘Auto Startup’ for mongoose via the Service Management page in the Web interface. In that case you would get no response at all when trying to access the HDR via a web browser. If you had just set a user name and password for Web Interface access then you would have still have been prompted for this username and password by the mongoose web server. If you forgot the password the you can use another little utility to reset it. Details on this utility can be found here.
