Have you got telnet activated on your version of windows, by default it’s not ? Diagnostics was probably greyed out because the box was recording or about to record in the next 15 mins. The latest version of the CF don’t use the Mongoose server if I remember correctly.

You can reset the password using telnet but you have to activate it (Google activate telnet Windows xx)

Hi,

I don’t use windows, I have been using Linux for years. I can telnet and ftp into the box but I just cannot get passed the login for the web interface.

Did you follow the link re deleting the password ?

Just enter pass-disable from telnet to restore unsecured access to the web interface in the event of a forgotten username or password.

Hi Graham,

No I didn’t follow the link I thought it was about enabling telnet for Windows. i have followed it now and it’s fine.

I don’t like the unrestricted access but I am as sure as I can be that I didn’t set one before.

I have added myself as a user and set a password.

When I look at the option to delete a user I only see the one I have just created. So unless pass-disable simply removes all users I am still puzzled as to how it happened.

Thank you for your excellent help

You are welcome, no idea why you finished up with no access. Apologies if my original post suggested you had no experience with the technology.

Without any other info, posters have to assume a basic level of IT experience, and based on previous posters, Linux experience is pretty limited,
