I new to this and have two AirRouterAR's with a fresh install of 1.16.1.1 and have accessed them many times with a computer over LAN connections. I have not made any changes in the setup and, as I recall, have not specifically set up a username and password. I had previously been accessing them for days without a username or password.
Today I went to access them and both are asking for a username and password. I have tried root & hsmm, callsign & enter, callsign-arar-150-city & whatever. Nothing works.
I also found that sometimes I can use "http://localnode:8080" and other times I have had to use "http://localnode.local.mesh:8080"
Enlightenment appreciated...

RESOLVED: locked out of nodes
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
If you want to reset the password, do the following:
boot the node up fully (2mins)
hold the reset button for 5 seconds.
After reboot, the node's password will be "hsmm"
1. Why the sudden appearance of the password dialog box when it never happened before?
2. Why sometimes "http://localnode:8080" and other times "http://localnode.local.mesh:8080"
2) Officially http://localnode.local.mesh:8080/ is the fully recommended link to visit, What happens when you use http://localnode:8080" is your computer asks all the DNS servers it has iin its list (make sure your connected only to the mesh node not mesh node via cat5 and internet via wifi) when you connect a 'search root' is sent to your computer and told "when the user puts in localnode turn it to localnode.local.mesh" however if your computer is on multiple networks or if the computer is configured not to accept this setting you will need to use the full length url. Also complicating matters, most browsers keep a cache of NAME TO IP mapping to speed up internet access, if you make a setting to the LAN Configuration (such as going from 3 direct to 5 direct) the browser may try and reach the node at its old (incorrect) ip until some time has elapsed (or all browser windows are closed)
I have two AirRouterAR's in the same room with a fresh install of 1.16.1.1. Router A is connected to PC A. Router B is connected to PC B.
Prior to this event, I could connect to router B with PC A and router A with PC B.
I can no longer do this.
All I get is this:
Any further enlightenment is appreciated.
One SSID had a typo !
