      Hey guys, 1st i wanna say i searched all over, and tried everything to find any info on this, but found nuthin. so heres my ?.

      i had been running 1.2.3 final. and  for kicks, wanted to try 2.0, so i did a upgrade via web GUI.  it updated fine, then rebooted
      the system. after it finished i attempted to load my web GUI like normal, but now its asking for a user name/pass.

      so i searched for what is the default name/pass, and found it to be,  admin/pfsense . 
      which i tried, many times, and it is not accepting it!  so what am i doing wrong? 
      I'm gunna hafta go back to 1.2.3, if i cant login to change settings.

      thanx for your time!

        Try with https though it should use http on a upgrade iirc.

        edit
        jump to conclusion to fast. as it prompt with pass :)
        you can reset the password from console

            Make sure that your installed version is Thu Feb  4 16:47:57 EST 2010 or later as an important  commit sorts out a show stopper bug present in the earlier 2 updates…..

              ok, i'm trying again to upgrade with that newer build….

              EDIT :

              ok with this newer build from feb 4.  it took the upgrade ok, and after it completed i went to web interface
              and found the same problem of it not accepting the default username & pass. so i again went to the local
              console and hit #3 to reset password.  and after that, this time, it did in fact reset, and i WAS able to
              then login with the default name and pass. so its seems to be workin all good so far now...

              thanx for the help!

                I found myself having to restore to factory defaults. For it to behave.

                    Yes, I never could get the v1.2.3 config.xml to parse properly and it needed a fresh setup before working.
