Comment (by hnyman):
Like I said above in comment:6:
The passwd disappears if you sysupgrade from 43017-43040.
Those firmware versions did not properly define the config files to
preserve in sysupgrade. The fix does not retroactively change the old
firmware in your router. If you upgrade from 43032, then /etc/shadow and
your password will get lost.
To prevent that, you need to edit /etc/keep.d/base-files-essentials to
include also "/etc/shadow". But that needs to be done before the
sysupgrade, and most users will read this advice only after upgrading and
having already lost the password. :-(
