Cannot SSH to Router to Complete Install of v4

adam:ONE® ASUS
1

I have an ASUS RT-AX88U Pro.
I installed the latest version of adam:ONE.
I set SSH to LAN Only but left the port at 22.

When i try to finish the install and setup the USB drive I get the following message. I have no idea what to do to move on and finish the install.

C:\Users\davew>ssh router@asusrouter.com

@David_Hoffman it looks like the firmware was reset on that router. To resolve this issue you can either.

  1. Edit C:\Users\davew/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the offending key.
  2. Delete the entire C:\Users\davew/.ssh/known_hosts file.

There is the problem, i don’t know how to edit or delete the known hosts file.

Nevermind, i found the file and deleted it.
