 ==== How can I restore the original firmware? =====
-Restoring the original firmware to your OpenWRT device is maybe different for each device, please refer to the [[http://wiki.openwrt.org|OpenWRT wiki for that]], i.e. [[openwrt>toh/tp-link/tl-mr3020?#restoring.original.firmware|Restoring for MR3020]]. Restoring back to the stock TP-Link causes the **most** bricks in our forum, so do a clever consideration or ask in the forum.

 ==== When using SSH, it seems that my Box does not accept the password ====
-When using SSH on a Mac or Linux system, do not forget **root@**192.168.1.1 . The ''root@'' is required, because ssh will try to login via the user "root". If you miss that part out, the ssh command will use the user you are currently logged in.

 If it still does not work, try to use ''telnet 192.168.1.1''. If that work and you already used ''passwd'' to setup a password, something went wrong while flashing. Try to reflash the device with the openwrt*.bin file, or open up a forum post for clarification.

 ==== I removed all the files from my USB stick and I'm not able to connect anymore. Is it bricked? ====
-Don't panic. If you only removed the files on the USB Stick, the Box is using all the configuration, which was moved from the original system to the USB stick. This is the reason why you can't connect easily anymore: the DHCP server is not working anymore. In the most situation, it could be the easiest solution to simply reflash the device. For **PirateBox 1.1** devices, you can use the [[openwrt:reflash_with_autoflash|Reflash PirateBox with auto_flash function]]-HowTo.
