      Howdy,

      I have a Netgate 1100 which failed during a routine update with the GUI. I am connected with serial/USB and am getting a BSD/Amnesiac login, though I cannot login with the known password, default password or no password using either root or admin as the username.

      Here is the console output:

              groups: enc
              nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
      add host 127.0.0.1: gateway lo0 fib 0: route already in table
      add host ::1: gateway lo0 fib 0: route already in table
      add net fe80::: gateway ::1
      add net ff02::: gateway ::1
      add net ::ffff:0.0.0.0: gateway ::1
      add net ::0.0.0.0: gateway ::1

        The fastest way back is probably to reinstall 23.09.1 clean if you have a config backup.

        You should be able to login at the amnesiac prompt though. admin/pfsense or root/pfsense should work if it's unable to find any login config. Also try admin/root.
        Otherwise root/<your_password> should work if it can still see that config.

        Steve
