[Solved] Flashed Xiaomi AX3600 but now the root password doesn't work!

AiOGajo · January 23, 2022, 12:05am

Hi.

I just install the openWrt firmware into a Xiaomi AX3600 but now I can't log in into LuCi (or ssh) since I can't get the password to log in.

If I leave it blank doesn't work, if i write admin doesn't work...

Can someone help me out?

Thanks

There is no password for root when in the default state.
username: root
password: (blank)

What version of OpenWrt did you install (and where did you download it from)?

If that doesn't work, you can try failsafe mode to reset the password.

I used this version:

How to build your Openwrt firmware.
-
Note:
--
1. DO **NOT** USE **root** USER FOR COMPILING!!!

2. Users within China should prepare proxy before building.

3. Web admin panel default IP is 192.168.1.1 and default password is "password".

Let's start!
---
1. First, install Ubuntu 64bit (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x86 is recommended).

2. Run `sudo apt-get update` in the terminal, and then run
    `
    sudo apt-get -y install build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch python3 python2.7 unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex uglifyjs git-core gcc-multilib p7zip p7zip-full msmtp libssl-dev texinfo libglib2.0-dev xmlto qemu-utils upx libelf-dev autoconf automake libtool autopoint device-tree-compiler g++-multilib antlr3 gperf wget curl swig rsync

but after reading it it says: "Web admin panel default IP is 192.168.1.1 and default password is "password"."

Jezz, it worked

That is not an official version of OpenWrt. I'm glad you got in, but in the future you should direct all your questions to the maintainer of that build since it is very clearly different than the official version.

Sorry mate
But thanks for the tip.

no worries. Happens all the time. If you run official OpenWrt, we can help here on this forum. But offshoots are really hard (if not impossible) to support since we don't know what was changed as compared to the official versions.
