Thanks, I wasn't aware of that configuration, so I'll hit it there.  But 
I have found through my recent upgrades that I always have to ssh back 
into the router and reset the root password before I can login through 
LuCI.

I guess I'd assumed that everything under /etc/config was part of the 
backup by default, and that the certificates were there (I see now that 
they're not).

Thanks for the pointer. :)
