        particularly this one:

        Remotely Circumvent Firewall Lockout by Temporarily Changing the Firewall Rules
        You could (very temporarily) disable firewall rules by typing:

        pfctl -d

        Once you have regained the necessary access, turn the firewall back on by typing:

        pfctl -e

          the link is dead

          I have no access at all and no null modem cable so no way of changing rules

                You have SSH access unless you blocked it.

                Try to SSH in on the LAN side with a linux machine.

                    You could always reflash it since it's brand new and start over.  Or reboot and select the second partition and start over?  Don't know if it's nano or ssd or what.

                      OK - Question…

                      If you plug your modem/router into the WAN and then plug your computer into the LAN, do you have internet access?

                                Unless you got it wet and dried it in the microwave, I doubt you broke it permanently.

                                    What kind of interfaces are on that machine?

                                    Intel?  Realtek?

                                      I'm beginning to think that people should image their drives so if they make mistake they can just pull the drive and use a real computer with a keyboard and monitor to restore original image.

                                          Yeah - If you had SSH open on the LAN or WAN you would be all set.
                                          I guess you didn't forward any SSH ports on the WAN then?
