Problems with logging directly in to RBW30

Success! I can log in to my RBW30 web page by using admin/password as the credentials. Once I logged in, I was able to update the RBW30 to the latest firmware.

I can login directly to my RBS40V satellite with no issues using the same username and password as my LBR20 router. I did do a reset on the RBW30 and I also pushed to SYNC button on the LBR20 router and then on the RBW30 and still no luck. The RBW30 seems to be working fine otherwise. Please let me know of any suggestions.
Yes, when Orbi satellites are sync'd to the router, the satellite web access should be "admin" and the same password as the router.
Does the RBW30 satellite show up in the Orbi router Attached Devices page at the top as a satellite (along with the RBS40V)?
Yes, the RBW30 shows up just like the RBS40V as a connected satellite. The Backhaul Status is good and the Connection type is 5ghz.

What a puzzle. Sometimes things "shake out" if every device is powered off and then back on, starting with the router.
Otherwise, "I got nothin"
I powered everything down and backup up again there was no change. I can log in to the RBS40V satellite using its IP address and using the same username and password as I use for the router. I cannot log in to the RBW30. Otherwise the RBW30 is working as expected and shows up as a satellite in the Orbi Web browser and in the Orbi iphone app. I am stumped.
It also looks like my RBW30 needs a firmware update but since I cannot log in to the Web page, I can't apply the update. I am on V2.5.0.2 and the latest version for the RBW30 is V2.6.2.2. I tried to install the update from the Router page and it also is looking for the Username and password that I don't have. The RBW30 is quickly becoming very frustrating.
