    Help hard reset virgin super hub 2

    having trouble hard resetting one of these - tried pinhole 30 seconds powered off and on, no luck

    Keeps saying config password is wrong even though I have not changed it from 'changeme'

    Also I don't see the prompt with the username and pass like before - only the password

    any ideas?

    sure it asked for username the first time i accessed config

    I'm using changeme as password no luck

    its not even wiping my wifi SSID or password, reset button is definitely clicking in

    at my wits end!

    This happened to me too so you're not on your own. If I recall, I got it to reset by pulling the power lead whilst holding down the reset button and generally keep trying to power up/down. I think eventually I did the reset process and powered down and left it five minutes. Whatever is in memory is corrupt and it's struggling to reset. Took me a while but I did get there in the end.

    i had to reset mine, I'd had it switched a day..
    So I phoned up the lovely call centre people in mumbai or wherever they are, moaned like fook and kept them on the line whilst they talked me through it.

    did the pinhole thing ( spent ages finding a needle) and fortunately the lights went in sequence and it worked after that. DOn't know if they did owt there end, I Was too busy telling them how shite their stuff is.

    Thanks to steiff1

    did not try this:

    4. We recommend that you now turn off the power to the Super Hub for 60 seconds and then turn it back on.
    will try tonight

    thanks all
