Hey guys. Just had this problem and fixed it. So just wanted to make a record of it, in case someone else searched for it later - didn't find a thread on it already.
I changed my DD-WRT password, and for some odd reason, I could no longer log in through by browser (http/https). The usual suggestion is to reset the router and set to defaults - but this would nuke the settings as well. I really didn't want to reconfigure my router.
It turns out that logging in through ssh still works. So, go to ssh and log in to your router (192.168.x.x) and log in with your "expected" credentials. If you are lucky, it will go through. So, even if https doesn't work, ssh may still work.
After that just type:
nvram set http_passwd=
nvram commit
Then log in to your router through http/https again and set new credentials.
