RBK50 password reset
I've lost (my fault, very careless) the password for my RBK50. The reset process via serial number etc is asking me security questions that I cannot answer. I am 100% positive that they are not "my" ...
Happens here as well. I changed the password a few days ago, but did not set security questions during the process. Before this I had some security questions in place, but they are not the ones I am now being asked.
The longer story is I downgraded firmware on RBR50 to allow for flashing of Voxel custom firmware. The Voxel firmware was fast and worked ok, but I was unable to flash it to three satelites I have running, probably because I had not downgraded firmware on them first. I took the router back to stock Orbi firmware and updated to latest version for now. This was when the password was changed.
Now the password to the router login is no longer working, and recovery is impossible as I skipped security questions when setting up the router. It seems like a factory reset is the only option, which is annoying.
