I can't login in web mode,but text mode is ok

I go to firs time to web mode and set the password, but then i see this note:

"you password it's too simple"

then i not write nothing and restart router....

Now i  can't login in web mode, in text mode i login normal using SSH.

My friend say the text and web mode password is the same. It is truth?
Then why i not login using the same pasword?

Please help me

I notice that there are 2 "passwords" stored on the system, maybe they got out of sync, due to some problem / crash / whatever? There are passwords stored in /etc/passwd and /etc/httpd.conf. In my case the passwords in these files match exactly. If they don't do in your case, just copy the password-hash from /etc/passwd (used by login) to /etc/httpd.conf (probably used by webif).
