So my pi-hole SD took a crap, had to reinstall. Now im trying to get my pi-hole monitor setup again, and if keeps telling me wronv password. I don't believe i changed it cause i have nothing in my password vault. So how can i default it to start over?

Thanks.

You can plug it in to your computer and have the Ardiuno Serial monitor set to the port and baud rate of 115200 -- when it boots it spits out all the values.

Try using user: admin and a blank password.

Ok. Well thats pretty greek to me. This is one of the three i bought pre-built from you. I know i didnt change the password cause the other two are still default. I tried the admin and blank and every other combination i could think that if i changed it i would have used, before i even asked for help.

Where do i get this serial monitor from? seems like i need to go learn something new.

Thanks for the help.

The Serial Monitor is part of the Arduino application. It allows you to view information from the application. It is free. Arduino application is the same one used to install the software onto the device.

There are lots of videos on setup for Arduino and including how to use the Serial Monitor: https://youtu.be/QR_E2NEVpT4?t=223

Ok. Downloaded the Arduino, connected the monitor, port at 115200 and when it boots up it copies all the display to the serial monitor but does not kick out the login info. So I tried logging in remotely to see if it shows anything in the monitor and it does not. What settings/process do I need to do to make the login information show in the monitor. I am literally ignorant here, that was why I bought it assembled. I can learn, but I have no idea beyond what I have read to get it connected.

Thanks.

When connected and all powered on, press the little button the wemos D1 mini board (on the side near the USB port) -- this will reset and reboot. during the reboot scroll up to the very top. It will show the settings. It will look like this: image

Thank you! I had followed everything I could find but that was the step I was missing.

Appreciate your help and patience.

Oh, and in case you were wondering ... Somehow the "d" got deleted from the end of "password" and got saved. Maybe we need a password validation entry?

Anyway, all is good again.

Glad you got it working.
