Q: I was an attempt to assess the securiy conscious, so I an 63 character randomly generated password for my firewall. The problem that I found was that the Netgear not 63 characters in the password space. Soooo, now I can not log on my firewall. Does anyone know how many characters the Netgear firewall fvs318 Allos for a password?
Many thanks!
Re:So if you know what the full-length password is, for example:
"example"
Then paste to try ex, exa, exam, examp, exampl until you get the right password, unless I'm missing something here.
:confused:
Re:The problem with that is that will cause downtime. Even if this option takes more time, it's worth it ot to have to take the calls/ explain to everyone that "Yes, I know the Network is down"
Re:just reset to factory defaults?
Re:Nope. I think what happened is that I pasted the password into the space and it would only allow for X characters so the password either got cut off at the maximum part (leaving the rest of it "unpasted") or it wrote it all out and then overwrote itself at the end. So I need to know how may characters it can take, so I can paste the right amount of random characters into the password box so I can get back in.

When you set that password, it didn't give you an error saying the PW was too long? :confused:
