How do I over-ride a secure connection failure to access the IP address for my wirelss router?

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Yesterday all wireless functionality dropped out. I tried going to the router's IP address and got this message:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.1.
You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)
I searched for this message in Firefox help and tried the steps listed on:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
But it did not work. I could not access the IP address. I needed to do so, to reset and re-secure the wireless router. I was able to do this in IE because there is an option to ignore the warning. I would like to be able to access the router in Firefox.

Delete the certificate in servers and authorities.
Enter URL about:config
Change browser:ssl_override_behavior to 1
Accept the certificate again

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

  • How can I over ride my screen saver passwords to access my iBook G4?

    Yesterday, I called Tech. support via Apple and was provide a case number for my issue.
    The e-mail that was sent to me did not assist me.
    Today, I am told that I would need to purchase a 30 day technical support plan for $50.  They would not be able to assist me unless I paid into this (frustrated).
    Does anyone know how I can hack into my own iBook G4 without unnecessary expenses?
    Any references and or support is greatly appreciated.

    Hi, David. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (Mac OS X 10.0 would not be possible on an iBook which was purchased new in 2004.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

    Hi there
    Do you happen to use a USB modem or something like that? This could be the cause.
    You could try creating a new network location to see if that fixes it (if not you can just reverse it)
    1. Go to  Menu -> System Preferences
    2. Then go to Network on the 3rd row
    3. Make sure the padlock is unlocked (bottom left) with your admin password
    4. Choose 'Automatic' next to 'Location' at the top.
    5. Choose 'Edit Locations'
    6. Then click the + button, and create a new one called home/test/somethingorother
    7. Click Done -> Save and wait a few seconds
    8. You may have to reconnect to your Wi Fi network etc.
    If you have a USB modem, the above steps will most likely remove its config from the Network preferences. As I said, its reversable (just change location back to automatic)
    Have fun

  • I wish to use my present e-mail service,not adobe how do I over-ride it.

    I wish to use my present e-mail provider,how do I over-ride adobe mail

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    If it is a Windows system you need to have an email client running like Outlook (32bit version) or Windows Live Mail. Either of those should be able to link to your current e-mail service. The alternative is to use the Adobe e-mail client but there are problems when trying to link it to your email service.

  • How do I over-ride Firefox 4's refusal to allow installation of Torbutton v1.3.2-alpha?

    The developer at the Tor Project has been testing Torbutton v1.3.2-alpha (unstable). Although not fully stable, it's being released for users to test. Informations is at https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/firefox and https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/ . When I tried to install this alpha release from the 2nd link's page (look for "Install alhpa" on the page), Firefox 4 refused to allow completion of the installation. What I need to know, is how do I over-ride that refusal, to achieve installation?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, they were both helpful and informative. However, the bottom line is that in order to work around the compatibility problem, I'd need to do some re-programming of Firefox, with subsequent risk of "malfunctions or crashes". It's simpler and safer, to just abandon use of the version 4 as being fundamentally defective, uninstall it, and return to use of v3.6.3 which worked correctly most of the time. I appreciate your assistance!

    25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

    How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

    Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
    Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher

    Change your home page to a non-firefox one. If you want google as your home page, do the following:<br><br>
    #Go to google.com<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General.<br><br>
    #Make sure it says "Show My Home Page" in the dropdown menu at the top and then click the button called "Use Current Pages".<br><br>
    I can't think what Mozilla is trying to achieve by displaying that childish junk.

  • Network Error: Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection to Clean Access Manager

    Hello everyone
    I am implementing a failover solution of NAC in OOB VG version 4.8, I have 2 CAS and 2 CAM.
    The Error I am getting is when I connect to both IP address and the FQDN of the CAS.
    ===========
    Network Error:
    Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection to Clean Access Manager at camsrv3.cadivi.gob.ve.
    This could be due to one or more of the following reasons: 1) Clean Access Manager certificate has expired 2) Clean Access Manager certificate cannot be trusted or 3) Clean Access Manager cannot be reached.
    Please report this to your network administrator.
    ==========
    For the CAM's I use this names camsrv1 and camsrv2. then generate a CSR in the camsrv1 with the name camsrv3.mycompany.com corresponding  to virtual ip and it exported to camsrv2, Install the CA certificate of the company and everything works perfect.
    This is the failover configuration
    CAM:
    Primary:     10.1.206.248 camsrv1.mycompany.com
    Secondary: 10.1.206.249 camsrv2.mycompany.com
    Virtual:       10.1.206.250 camsrv3.mycompany.com
    Then I do exactly the same steps for the CAS's and this is the failover configuration:
    Primary:     10.1.216.248 cassrv1.mycompany.com
    Secondary: 10.1.216.249 cassrv2.mycompany.com
    Virtual:       10.1.216.250 cassrv3.mycompany.com
    Then I add the certificate of CAM in the CAS on the tab "Trusted Certificate Authorities"  and vice versa.
    The communication between all the CAM´s and CAS´s is correct (Primary, Secondary and Virtual). I can ping the IP and the FQDN and I can also manage the CAS through the CAM.
    I verify that the time was right in the CAM and the CAS and all good up there.
    Appreciate your help
    Eduardo Navas

    Eduardo,
    Bump up the CAS/CAS communications logging on both the CAS and CAMs, and then look in the log files for clues.
    On CAM they live in /perfigo/control/tomcat/logs and on CAS in /perfigo/access/tomcat/logs
    HTH,

  • I receive secure connection failure if I try accessing certain websites

    I have been trying to access certain websites and I keep getting secure connection failure for about a week now. When I try using other browsers they don't work either. I tried most of the troubleshooting methods mention here but its still persists. Below are the screenshots of the message I receive and the browser console error message.
    http://prntscr.com/6yjmfz

    Strangely, I noticed a couple of https sites I had trouble logging into from a link inside a https site.
    In System Preferences I went to Accouns and for myself unchecked "Enable parental controls".
    I was then able to log onto the the https site.

  • Secure connection failure in browser for https sites

    Recently I kept getting the error message "Secure Connection Failure" when using Firefox to go to https sites. I had a similar problem when I tried using Safari to connect to https sites.
    I fixed the problem by opening System Preferences > Parental Controls > selecting the appropriate User (as long as you have administration rights) > selected Allow unrestricted access to websites (by default Try to limit access to adult websites automatically is selected).
    Once I checked unrestricted access I was able to go to the https sites I wanted, which were my bank's site and the Firefox homepage for FAQs. Then I went back and checked "Try to limit ...". That brought back the error message again so I checked "Allow unrestricted access ...".
    The issue may have arisen because I downloaded a system security update a few days ago. Perhaps it reset the Parental Controls default.
    It would be good to block adult sites but the alternative seems to be to customize in Parental Controls the sites that are OK. This would be a tedious job because so many sites are https eg this site.
    I no longer have a problem but thought this might help others.
