Problems configuring router after hard reset

I'll start with my 'vitals' ---
* WRK54G Wireless Router
* Cable internet
* Desktop computer is wired to the router
* Roku media player - wireless connection (will play my mp3s off of the computer or listen to internet radio stations)
* Tivo wirelessly connected
This morning, I tried to play some music off of my computer on the Roku media player. It would not communicate with the computer, but it would find the internet stations. After some trial and error, I tried to make the Tivo connect and it also failed to find the computer. The computer itself also could not find the internet, but the Roku was streaming music from the 'net fine. I exhausted my limited networking knowledge and decided it was time to bite the bullet and do a full restart on the router.
I turned off the computer and the router. The modem has a battery backup so I reset it and while it was booting back up, I plugged the computer into the modem. Once the computer started, the internet was up on the computer and felt encouraged. I found and ran the install disk that came with the router and followed it step by step. After getting a few more errors, I got the setup program to find the internet through the router and I could proceed to the next step. When I got to setting my time zone, an error came up that the modem could not be configured and I should hold the reset button again for 10 seconds. I felt discouraged again. I reset it, and nothing. Tried again nothing. It will not get through the guided set up, but the internet is apparently working.
I thought I would just get into the web-based set up page. I can log in with the default password and get to all of the screens, but whenever I try to save changes (whether I made any or not) the password box comes back up and the default password (or any password I tried to change it to) will make it go away.
So basically, my problems are: 1) the guided setup will not finish 2) the web-based setup will not let me make any changes because it does not recognize any password.
Thanks for any help in advance...
Chris
PS -- after I post this, I am going to reset the computer again and unplug the internet from the router just to see if I can get the web-based setup to work. I'll post the results, one way or another.

I, and others in this forum, have had problems saving Linksys router settings too. I logged into my router fine, but couldn't save the settings without a password screen coming up. No password is accepted. I contacted Linksys Help and received no solution. I looked on this forum and saw mentioned that the problem may be with Norton Internet Security (NIS). One person said they just temporarily disabled NIS and then they were able to save their router settings before reenabling NIS again. I tried that, ended up turning off every setting in my NIS, rebooting with them off, etc, but it didn't help with the ability to save my router settings. I have NIS 2007 and the NIS Add-On pack (needed because for some reason Norton took away features from previous versions and after people complained they made them available again with the add-on pack). I planned to remove all of NIS (after I made notes of my modifications), and started by removing the NIS Add-On pack first. After a reboot I tried to save my router settings and it worked! Phew. I got them all set and tested, then I installed the NIS Add-On pack again and all is well. When I saw people had made comments on this forum about this problem for 8 months at least I was disappointed that Linksys Help hadn't already been aware of the problem and able to give the solution.

Cant log in to my wrt150N router after hard reset with default login

Hello all,
I have a router that I upgraded the firmware a while ago, I stopped using it several months ago, I was going to give this router to my sister, i tried a hard reset(30 seconds press reset, unplug, hold hold the reset, wait 20 sec, plug power, hold for 30 sec and release the reset) and I tried to login with admin admin and it doesn't accept it. I tried with another router dlink 614i and the same problem, after resetting it it's not accepting admin admin log/pass. It can't be that two different routers are having the same problem, can it be my laptop? Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
I've tried admin/ admin , login admin no pass, no login and pass admin no luck.

Hi,
A 30/20/30 reset is useless and risky.
To clear NVRAM it's sufficient to push the button once during 30s, and wait the router restarts itself (some of them reboots twice)...

A DIFFERENT problem with Maps after Hard Reset

Was advised to hard reset my phone after it started going crazy with data which I did using the advised *#7something# method.
Nokia Maps is fortunately still there upon reset. Phew. Although when I open it it starts downloading mad amounts of data.
All my maps are gone. it appears my mass memory got kind of messed up in the reset - it deleted a lot of the data off the mass memory, but left some of it. Example - my music files all went, but the directory structure remained. My photos remained, but Nokia doesn't know when they were taken.
I have tried connecting my phone to my PC and opening maps in Ovi Suite ... and it says 'cannot find maps or voice guidance files in your device', and I appear to have no option to re add them.
There is an 'open help' link below the message ... which opens a blank help page in my browser. Useful.
Can anyone help?

This has occurred the entire time I have owned the iPod. I only discovered iLyrics about 2 months ago. I don't believe iLyrics is to blame.
In general, the lyrics are in English and do not have special characters. This is a good suggestion though. I'm going to pay close attention to see if I can find any weird HTML bits showing up. It seems to occur about 70% of the time. I've assumed that it is completely random, so I'm going to pay closer attention to see if some songs work 100% of the time. Interestingly, it never goes wrong 100% of the time either. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 tries, but eventually I'll be able to scroll through the entire song.
I'm getting the impression that this is NOT a common problem....

Problems with partitions after hard reset

Hi hope some can help here, I installed Maverick on my imac and everything seemed fine, I went to work and came home to find a black screen with nothing but the mouse cursor, however the computer wouldnt respond in any way so had to do a hard reset when the computer restarted I would get the Aplle logo and the spinning wheel then the computer would restart it kept doing this over and over.
I restared the computer went into DU tried to repair disk and kept getting errors, my drive is 3TB i have a 1TB primary Partition and a second of 2TB I tried to erase and reformat the primary partition but got an error half way through now both partitons are greyed out with no way or deleting or doing anything with them I have also noticed I no longer have the hard drive make and model in the list just Mackintoh HD and my second partition, to make matters worse my second partition is now unmounted and and when I try to mount it says it needs to be repaired but wont repair, I really need totry and get the data from the second partiton but im struggling, when I tried to reinstall os x it cant see a drive to install to nothing shows up, I even booted using diskwarrior and even it couldnt see the drive, I know this drive is ok this is a software issue the partition table seems to be corrupt or something help!!
Its worth mentioning I had Parallels and Windows 7 on the primary partiton could the windows partiton have caused an issue when I tried to erase and reformat the partition?

Battery after hard reset on Lumia 800

Hi
A few days ago i did a hard reset on my Lumia 800. Since that everything was great, the only reason why i did it, to restore the default settings. After that i updated the firmware to 12070 via Zune. Since that day, my phone doesn't really know how much percentages are left from the battery. Sometimes It's showing a consant value for a long time, then suddenly begins to drain, and after a few it stops. It often happens, that it shows a value, and after an hour it shows a higher value (in percentage) than beforehand.
Today I let It to discharge to 0%, and then i pluged it to the charger. When the phone turned on, it showed me 5%.
It's lifetime havent changed so spectacularly, but i guess its a bit shorter with the same usage.
Is this behaviour normal after hard reset?
Thanks

After update my lumia 800 is failing to recongnise earphone. It keeps playing music on speaker. If I restart my phone then for few mins it is playing music in earphone. But after few mins once again music playback is starting through speaker.
what should be the problem? will hard reset solve this problem? If yes, how to hard reset nokia lumia 800.
Thanks in adv,

N85 going slow after hard reset - help

Hello
I did a hard reset on the phone and now everything is going really slowly, especially messaging. Any solution please? Do I download new software and how?
thank you.

Make sure there is nothing installing in the background at times after hard reset the phone tries to install some applications that was stored in the card, so wait for sometime or try installing applications on the phone removing the memory card.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes, it don't reads too like USB by Windows.
Before that i've seen error (-50) in iTunes, so i reset ipod.
I've read all tips on this site, but nothing helps me.

No, USB works good. I've tried reset on my friend's PC, and it saw my ipod and reset was done. But when i tried to load music, it wrote me, that i've installed incorrect software.

Re-install N97mini after hard-reset

Hey,
I already paid the Software by credit card and downloaded it directly on the mobile phone.
Few days ago I had troubles with my phone and I couldn't start it anymore. After hard-reseting it, it worked again.
Unfortunately all software is gone now.
When I start the Adobe Reader mobile it says "10 days trial" version. Do I have to pay again?
Thanks for your answer

Hey
no you don't have to pay again absolutely, just download it again and insert the code received by mail
Good luck

8350i uncaught exception java.lang.NullPointerException after hard reset

basic info:
8350i
v4.6.1.204 (Platform 3.0.0.73)
Desktop Manager 4.7
everything is good except that i've been using two batteries, one in the phone and one in a charger. when the phone's battery is almost drained i swap it with the charged one which of course causes a hard reset.
this procedure was working well for at least a week or two until last month when i swapped batteries - after the hard reset i got
uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
i could make calls but all other software seemed corrupted... virtually nothing else worked... icons missing etc.
tried all sorts of solutions but the only thing that fixed it was a full on device software erase/reload, then a data restore from previous backup. at the time i figured it was just a random thing and was glad to learn how to do a complete software reload.
then yesterday it happened again (again, immediately at the end of the security check after hard reset). now i'm afraid to swap batteries because it would appear that every time i hard reset there is a 10% (my guess) chance of software corruption and a complete reload takes a significant amount of time.
has anybody else noticed this? does anybody have a solution?
can i swap batteries without a hard reset; i.e. swap while plugged into power? i haven't tried this yet for fear of causing my BB harm.
any help is appreciated,
john d.

Hello, John.
Make selective backup as it is described here:

Backup only information that you need.
There is described the purpose of every database you can observe when you're doing the selective backup:

N8 Cant remove Topapps even after hard reset

Hi,
Few hours ago I just bought a new N8. It has in it TopApps and Ovi store, I wanted to remove Topapps but it continue to deny the operation. I tried soft reset, hard reset and in the ned 4 buttons reset. I tried also few solutions offered here in nokia forum but still without any sucess. I cant remove TopApps or Ovi Store even after hard reset, the maps are also here - I thought that these apps will disappear after hard reset.
In applications I got 3 ovi store related apps installed - ovi, Ovi notifications support package and Ovi Store. Social network app is not working too, its showing me service unavailable. Any ideas ?
Thank you for attention

Hi rslid,
Nokia Store or rather Ovi Store is not deletable or uninstalabe as this is one of the applications that is necessary to enable you to download and update downloaded applications to your Nokia N8-00 Belle. If you try to delete or unistall you get the message operation denied so its better if you leave it.
Concerning hard resetting, any time you feel like hard resetting your device use *#7370# followed by 12345 as the default security code unless you have manually changed it but always remember that it will delete all user data from both drive C and E hence a backup of your data with the phone settings unticked or not selected is strongly recomended before hard resetting and also note and remember that after hard resetting always reinstall your firmware to avoid having an unstable device.

After hard reset the time capsule is not found in airport even though i have reconnected in proper order - says backup disc not found

Something is wrong because a hard reset will never leave the TC with green LED.
What version TC.. what firmware??
What OS on the computer?

Hey Frnds Ovi Store Is Working.............yupppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Finally it installed on my c7 and n8 too......
What should hv to do(for those whose ovi is unable to install):
* just Format your phone via *#7370#
* And after that no need to install any qt etc software,just check for SW update in your device.
* And it will show an update of ovi store about 15 MB .
* Thats it.
why it was not showing an update before?
ans. because i hv installed qt 4.7 and qt webkit.so SW update wasn't showing any update.
I will request admin to move this thread to Solution section...

Can't configure my Snow base station after Hard Reset

Hello -
I am having trouble configuring my Snow base station after a hard reset.
Airport Admin Utility will not see or connect to it.
I get the error:
"The AirPort admin utlity was unable to
read the configuration file of the selected
base station.
An error occurred while reading the configuration."
any suggestions?
I need to completely erase it and give it a different configuration altogether.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards - Dustin

I can only offer sympathies. I have exactly the same problem.
A question:
1) After a hard reset of the ABS according to the procedures in Articles 106602 & 106685, at step 14 does Airport Admin(AA) find your ABS?
(I can reliably get to this point, however loading default software fails. I noticed that the Airport ID is zeroed! )
2) In AA have you tried connecting to 10.0.1.1 using your ABS password?
3) Can you create a c2c network? (I can connect my iMacs together reliably, so it is not a radio noise issue.)
I firmly believe this is a s/w issues somehow related to the recent upgrades. I only recenly bought my ABS, after replacing my Graphite for similar reasons. This is becoming unreasonablely time consuming and expensive.
I know this is a bit 'blah, blah', but I'm scratchng around too and would appreciate help! (I had to drill a hole in the wall to get 'hardwired' to the net, so I could get on here, this is not good!)
