11 To change your root password on your DD-WRT router (assuming you already know
12 what it currently is set to), log in through SSH. It turns out that DD-WRT
13 doesn't use the passwd command to set user passwords like most Linux's.
14 Instead, to set your password, run the following command.
15
16 ----
17 setuserpasswd [username] [password]
18 ----
19
20 To give an example here
21
22 ----
23 setuserpasswd root Jimminycr1cket4tehW1n
24 ----
25
26 This may not work on older versions of DD-WRT. I can't say because my router,
27 the Buffalo Technology WHR-HP-G300N runs DD-WRT v24-sp2.
