Reset/Retrieve WiFi password

WiFi problems

I changed my WiFi password or disabled it & locked myself out of my AVADO

You need to attach a screen and a keyboard to your AVADO Get a USB keyboard and attach it to any of the USB ports of your AVADO Find a screen with a HDMI cable (tip: use your TV if you don’t have a monitor) and attach the HDMI cable to your AVADO. Make sure your AVADO is connected to the internet before proceeding.

You will see a login prompt AVADO login: _

If you simply forgot your password, you can find it by reading out the config file of the WiFi package. At the console you type:

cat /usr/src/dappnode/DNCORE/wifi.dnp.dappnode.eth.env

If you can’t login with the credentials as shown above, you should restart the container by typing in the folowing command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-wifi.yml up -d

Still no luck ?

Download and install a fresh copy of the package, by typing in:

sudo apt-get install curl

It will then ask for a password. Type avado and press enter. The curl tool will be installed so you will see some output on the screen. Wait a minute for that to finish.

When you get back at the commend prompt, type the following command:

curl -s http://sos.ava.do/wifi | bash

and press enter

It should show something like

Starting WiFi reset procedure
...
(then some more log lines)
...
OK - Wifi container restarted. Please try to reconnect to SSID=AVADO, password=avado123

Now you should be able to reconnect using the default password.

To exit the shell on your AVADO device - type “exit” and disconnect the keyboard & screen.
