out gigabit support as a significant feature.)<br>
<br>
It seems to boot OK. But I haven't found a username/password that<br>
works. What I've managed to find says that the default username is<br>
admin; different sources disagree on whether the password is<br>
zero-length or also admin. Neither one works.<br>
<br>
I've found indications that the answer is to factory-reset it. But<br>
I've been unable to find out how; all the ways to factory-reset it that<br>
I've found involve logging in first. Anyone happen to know the magic<br>
incantation? I have trouble believing that it was designed with the<br>
answer to "how do I recover from a lost admin password?" being "send it<br>
back to us".<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>From the manual it appears that you can do a factory reset by interrupting auto-boot (enter at startup) via the serial console.
