PillCosbyJr Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi all, I am encountering an issue with changing the admin password. Before this. I had to reset the router due to unable to reach the router page and was giving the error below. Failed to readline from 'config get DumaOS_Theme_Version' After i reset the router, i had to reconfigure everything which is very annoying. Its odd how the DumaOS page bricked itself out of nowhere and required full reset. I have tested with several different browser and clearing cache and cookies and was still unable to reach the page. Anyhow after i set everything up. I try to change the default admin password to the web page. I am unable to change it because it keeps saying connection was reset when i click Apply password. I have cleared cookies/cache. Tried with different computer, laptop and desktop hardwire and wifi. Same issue. What is causing this issue? I hope i do not have to reset the router again. I am a bit disappointed how there so many little issue with XR1000 and DumaOS that constantly requires factory reset. See picture Router Info XR1000 1.0.0.52_1.0.38 with Verizon FIOs.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear you're having this issue. It's most likely that has occurred as changing the password kicked you off the interface, if you refresh the page does it ask you to re-login and if so does the new password work? Also are you using Armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PillCosbyJr Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Thank you for the quick response. When i refresh the page. It brings me to the internet setup page. No need to login or enter the password. But its still the old password. No Armor. Expired a while ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hmm, OK. Perhaps try downloading the Nighthawk App on a mobile device and see if you can make the password change that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Account management seems to be email password change and not router Edit: I figure it out what made it work. I had to check box "Enable Password Reset" in order for me to change the password. Previously this was not the case. May have something to do with the firmware update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2021 If you can't find it on the app it may not be there. I see you have disabled the Enable password reset option, if you enable that then apply does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
