Also keep in mind, that telnet does not require a password if you get really stuck.
My steps:
Connect by usb with default ip in config file with user root and pass blank
mntroot rw
Edit config file and change SSH OVER WIFI to true
passwd command to change it and test it by usb
Restart device and enter ;un in search
At this moment I have ssh connectivity by wifi. Ssh asks for user and password but nothing
If I plug usb, same behavior, connectivity but no password works.

I didn't test telnet. It's a possible solution to avoid restore and be abble to change config file again.
