DD-WRT failure

I just upgraded an older version of DD-WRT in a WRT54G v2.0 and now it
will not accept the default password "admin" after a hardware reset.
Before I drive over this piece of junk, is there any way to regain
control of it?

Am am new is this but did maybe this helps.
You are sure you are connected and not looking at
a cashed page in your browser are you?
As fas as I understand you will be fine if the router
respond. Even if that fails there are some pages for
"unbricking" routers, in worst case scenario you have
to open the router and all.
You have to log on using "root" then the password
"admin" while the original firmware use a blank
log-on and admin as a password.

If you didn't reset the old preferences to defaults it may not let you back
into it. The instructions do mention this.

notes.txt says "username = root" but when I tired it didn't work.
After I read your post I tired again and it worked.

Thanks for your help!

The flash was perfect, no reason to doubt otherwise.

notes.txt says the following:
ah and note. Username = "root"

I tried this and it didn't work.
When Edmund said what he said I tired it again and it worked.

Thanks for your response.
