Console into the router and reboot.  Post the entire boot-up process.  I want to know if password recovery has been deliberately disabled or not.

Thanks Leo, I do not think the password recovery has been disabled.

Hello Leo, it was in a controller mode so i had to use the default username and password admin/admin to login.

Glad to see it is working now.
