Let us know if you were able to get the password changed.

So I have tried to change the password from the web interface but when I input the old password (containing the non ASCII character) and input twice the new passwords (without non ASCII characters and compliant to the password strength requirements) I get a message sying that my old password is not correct (which it is obviously correct since I used to gain access to the management interface).
So I am stuck. I would either want to be able to access the iOS app with my current password, or be able to change my password.
The system is running V2.3.5.32
Thanks
PS: I have read another post suggesting that such a problem may arrise from pasting the old password into the form, however I have typed it in.
