25 The problem wasn't with the command line but with Firefox profile.
26 I run some firefox profile and one profile from which I logged into the
27 firewall GUI and try to make a nvrambak.bin file it printed the error
28 message:

38 I've never seen this one. I was able to log-in to the router but making
39 backup did not recognized stored password (it seems).

41 Making backup from different firefox profile worked OK
