That was a great old device, I still have one lying around even though it's become obsolete in many ways. It's probably not going to give you wireless speed up to 50mbs that your paying for, your best option is to invest in a newer router that supports the newer AC protocols. I ended up getting the Asus AC1700, it's open source and already does a lot of what my old WRT did. Linksys also has their "hackable" model that's up to date and supports third party firmware, but I think it's a little pricey if I remember correctly.
As far as recovering a password, you may need to telnet in using a physical wire, tutorials should be online and I'm not even sure that is a path to recovery. You really need to find a way to mount the filesystem where you have full access, not going to be easily done.
If it's confirmed in preferences but doesn't work for login then I would start by trying a different browser, power cycle maybe, extra careful typing the credentials.. maybe you already tried these though
i HAVE BEEN USING WRT54G TURBOCHARGED BY JASON.OS UBUNTU
USING THE PASSWORD CONFIRMED VIA PREFERENCES/SECURITY IS NOT WORKING.
PREFER NOT DOING A RESET.
THE FUSS IS IN ANTICIPATION OF AN INTERNET SPEED UPGRADE,FROM PHONE 1.33
Mbps TO 50 Mbps
GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT ON THIS QUESTION AND THANKS
