Reset admin password from SSH?

[Helipil0t]

Some how my keepass database missed an entry and I find myself locked out of my router's web UI. I have however full access using an ssh key (I've previously disabled password logins via ssh). Is there a way to reset the admin password while logged into an ssh session?

Would hate to have to resort to a factory reset.
I'd appreciate the help.

Try:

nvram set http_passwd="mypassword"
nvram commit

Try:

nvram set http_passwd="mypassword"
nvram commit

Unfortunately that didn't work.

nvram sow | grep http_passwd

showed no value has been set. Then I tried your suggestion and I'm still locked out of the WebUI. I didn't think the admin password was stored in plain text in NVRAM. I noticed my OpenVPN users are all in plain text.

Any other ideas?

Typing this should show the password.

nvram get http_passwd

Typing this should show the password.

nvram get http_passwd

That was my mistake. Turns out a simple reboot after the commit did the trick.
Thanks for all the help!
