I just flashed my first openwrt ChaosCalmer 15.05.1 firmware

a service provider at multiple retirement 'resorts'

This firmware is known to be vulnerable.

I work

Not for long...

@xerant

what i'm wondering is what files would I need to modify to be able to change the factory default settings and after doing so would I need to compile a new image and flash that onto the modem?

I beg you to consider upgrading...is it a old (or proprietary) driver issue???

To your question...Do you mean get into the router without the password?

If you mean a firmware with custom default configs, please consider version 17.04.5 or 18.06.0.

You need to compile a personal firmware to get the package changes included in the image. Use menuconfig in the buildsystem to adjust packages as you wish. And you can include personal config files as "custom files". Just copy the needed files from /etc/config https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/use-buildsystem#custom_files And the same is possible also with "imagebuilder". See wiki.

Also, there are issues building old firmware on newer systems:
