Excellent! Thank you.

That was enough to restore it. I now have root access with sudo -s.

Damn it, yeah it could be that this is the case.
I remember I commented out a line and enable another. Don’t know which, but I think I enabled the:

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Well, I tried many things.

admin@mtcdt:~$ sudo -s
Password:
admin is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

However, I think it’s worth mentioning, right before the first factory reset I edited with sudo visudo and maybe I messed up something there, in my attempt to gain root access.

Isn’t the factory reset, fixing this as well?
If not, is there a way for me to gain root access somehow from Web UI?

Thank you.

Well, it remains one question though:

How can I have ssh access with root privileges?

Seems like the users I created through the commissioning mode, is not among sudoers.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks 🙂

Alright. I figured it out.

There is no user at first, only through Web UI, you can create one.

I properly connected and configured the network interfaces so that the default 192.168.2.1 – address of the Conduit AEP is used, only after that I was able to first create the user, then login.

I read the following pages:

Getting Started with mLinux

Reset Button Behavior for mPower

Hmm, this is interesting.

mPower Firmware Changelog

A Hard Reset (or Factory Default) will force 5.0.1 firmware into Commissioning

How to create a user in Commissioning mode please?
