how reset  login  user password on

Thanks for all the discovery and hacking. I am reading the instructions on how to secure the wifi and for the life of me I can't figure out what you mean by cutting the 5v trace. It looks like the CP2012 already has a 3.3V power out? Do I have to use a jumper and sever a trace to get 3.3 out of this board?

Also, my wifi module says Nufront on it but looks almost identical. Is it based on the same AXIX chipset?

is it possible to make the elm scan for an wifi network, if found connect (credentials saved in code), if not switch to ap mode

  Are you sure? yes | no

For this, you may want to replace the integrated wifi module with an ESP8266 and script this via LUA.

Hey. Can you please provide an exact pin connection for accessing the wifi module with an Uart converter?

Given this one:

https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/4168131408466927600.jpg

is it in order 2,3,4,5 for GND,TX,RX,POWER?

  Are you sure? yes | no

You are right. See https://hackaday.io/project/2523/log/7428 for a pinout. 

2 GND. 3 TX. 4 RX. 5 3.3V (not 5!). 38400 baud.

  Are you sure? yes | no

this board provides 3.3V singal levels but no 3.3V supply voltage. you could use something like LD1117V33 (from Conrad) plus two decoupling caps (100nF / 1uF), or a cp2012 based adapter (cp2012 contains 5V to 3.3V regulator, adapter boards are 1-3 eur at ebay, incl. shipping).
