I cannot access my Pi-Star Hotspot. I must have changed the Password, and probably the User Name? But I don't remember what I changed it to, as it was over a year ago... Please can anyone tell me how I can access my Hotspot? When I try to access it via it's IP address, it requests a User Name and P...

Just save the backup zip to the root directory as you would with wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot, it should restore the backup automagically.

You could try an ssh connection to the Pi-Star and then use the pistar-zumspotflash command after having used wget to retrieve the firmware from the page suggested.

I don't know if it will work, but it has to be worth a go. You will need to use rpi-rw so that the card is writable.

Just started up a live log and rebooted. As ...

Yep. 3 of my Pi-Star 4.2.1 hotspots are sitting there and continuously restarting, going offline, initialising, rinse and repeat. check and see if /etc/systemd/system/mmdvmhost.service.requires exists, and if it does remove the whole folder, and run sed -i '/Requires=nextiondriver\.service/d' /lib/...
