    Unhappy ok.. how to format this sucker??

    I had the custum firmware 02a up and running and everything was fine. Then somehow I managed to screw it up by destroying 'bash' now when I login it says that the home directory does not exist.

    I flashed to asus firmware to get telnet access back. I cannot fix the problem because I cannot edit 'passwd' to change my home dir and shell. I've tried to install the newer busybox which includes 'vi' but with no success.

    when I flash back to 02a it loads 'passwd' and tries to use the bash shell which no longer exists and automaticly quits

    On the ASUS router admin page I cannot select Erase disk. the field is simply blank! (also been blank in asus org firmware)

    so..... How do I format the f*cker so I'm all back to basics

    /regards

    Remove all accounts from webui, reflash and passwd should be overwritten. You have to disable accountmodus (UBSA) in webui (otherwise its not replacing the passwd).
