I know from the Webinar how you guys hate when someone looses their password.  Well, I forgot mine on two of my 3 nodes.  Sorry to be a bother but maybe you can post the instructions here and that will end the discussion on it.

Thanks!

Since no one has replied ...

The openwrt forums list a failsafe way to boot the router: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=338. (hsmm is running on openwrt, but I don't know whether this will work for sure.) (Note that there is a response to that posting that suggests using mount_root.)

At the bottom of that page, there is a response that indicates that if you connect a serial cable to your router's serial port, you can interrupt the boot during the boot process, and not have to enter a password.

fyi,

robert

I'll try it on Monday evening and post my findings.  Thanks!

Worked great! All 3 are back where they can be accessed. Now to find a place to deploy them. Hills and trees of North GA. Good if you have access to the tops. I don't.
