For me, updating to the latest 3.1.3 firmware for the NETGEAR WN802Tv2 access point had an unfortunate side effect: the access point refused to accept any password for logging in…
Resetting to factory defaults did not work. There are a few threads on the NETGEAR forums about this as well, but the only resolution seemed to be to send the unit to NETGEAR.
However – after two days of hacking I have found a do-it-yourself solution:
1. Make sure you can connect to the web interface safely
This means resetting to factory defaults, use a cable directly between your computer and the access point, and set a static IP address for your computer in the 192.168.0.x range. NETGEAR supports recommends using the address 192.168.0.210 for reasons that I don’t know..
2. Go to the address http://192.168.0.233/recreate.php
The real purpose of this file is not known, but it has an interesting side effect: When you go to the access point home page afterwards, you get access to a partly functional interface. A lot of things don’t work, but one important piece did work for me: the firmware upgrade
3. Upload the 3.1.1 firmware image
If you don’t have the firmware image here you can get it from NETGEAR support at http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12197
4. Restore config
If you have a backed up config file, you can upload it. Otherwise, just configure settings as normal.

Musikerne vinner, plateselskapene taper
Dommedagsprofetien ser ut til å ha et relativt begrenset nedslagsfelt. Som Espen refererer i Tversover: Musikerne vinner, plateselskapene taper ser det ut til at artistene har kommet godt ut av digitaliseringen økonomisk sett:
Etter 10 år med digitalisering av musikk har den gjennomsnittlige musiker hatt en inntektsvekst på 66%. De eneste som taper på digital musikk, er de tradisjonelle plateselskapene. Det viser en masterstudie utført av Siviløkonomstudentene Richard Bjerkøe og Anders Sørbo ved Handelshøyskolen BI.Det gjenstår å se hvordan inntektsmodellen til digitalt salg og streaming påvirker (påvirkes av) dette.

Password Reuse
This is absolutely true. In most occasions it doesn't really matter how strong your password is, only that it's unique. My recommendation is that you use SuperGenPass to generate site specific passwords for you.
