Web ui password not working anymore

hi group. i had this router only for traveling purpose. so it was sitting in drawer. last tie i used it, i was able to access everything, web ui, ssh, luci. i just plugged it to prepare my next travel, and i the password used for web ui is not working anymore. i had writtent it down on a postit stuck to the router. but i do have ssh access, passwordless using my ssh private key.

is there a command i can use on the ssh shell to reset web ui passwords? it seems my last hope

best regards.

You can reset the password using passwd on SSH.

yes i saw that 15 minutes after sending this message on board, i wanted to cancel it but couldnt... since i am using version 4.x passwd on linux worked just perfectly.

good lord, i had configured ssh keys for access!
