Franco that was the first thing I tried if that worked, I wouldn't have made the post.

What did fix it was deleting the blank top flag from the config.xml

I changed the password has in the config.xml to be $2y$10$vGA7jFHBhBGJCMiYsFzVUeAMaS5RabQNwMaZMdkdDfbyxWA5ZRPIG

Which should be 'admin' and still no luck on being able to login.

Often such passwords are on some kind of "Password Blacklist" so to speak in a lot of software, but I am not sure if OPNsense does that ??

Try changing it to something simple like 'whatamessthisis' and try again.

Another option would be to mount your installation offline and change the password via passwd :)

I did try that as well. And I ran pluginctl -c after to make sure the config updated to match the FreeBSD password. And I've used the opnsense-shell option 3 to reset the password too. The only thing I realized I didn't do was check the config for totp, I'm going to do that tonight. If that doesn't work I guess I'll start restoring backups from the most recent towards the initial setup.

Thanks. I'm still struggling. I changed the password has in the config.xml to be $2y$10$vGA7jFHBhBGJCMiYsFzVUeAMaS5RabQNwMaZMdkdDfbyxWA5ZRPIG

Which should be 'admin' and still no luck on being able to login. I confirmed that my change held through a reboot and I confirmed that the username I was changing the password for was correct. Still unable to login via web gui or console.

I'm stuck with my router right now, its been running flawlessly for months but I need to set a new static IP and I couldn't log into the web interface, wrong password. I couldn't remember if I setup TOTP, but the fact that I have something in my authenticator app that is called router makes me believe I did. I re-set the password with single user signin on the boot menu, and I still couldn't login to the web gui. I tried that password right on the console and I still couldn't login. I even tried resetting the password to a single letter, and tried logging in with the authenticator code before and after the letter directly on the console, still with no luck. I'm at a loss here as to what my next steps should be before I decide to just nuke the whole install and start fresh.


The solution was to delete the top flag from the config.xml. For some reason even though it was blank from the shell option 3 reset it was preventing login.
