SOLUTION: Admin Login Credentials Don't Work after Firmware Update
Hello Everyone, like most of you I have lost my admin login credentials after doing certain Firmware updates, some people think we are entering the wrong password but we are not, especially since for...
Might be a good work around. Though I've not seen this odd issue of the admin PW not working after a FW update. Will keep this in mind for others though though most users if they see this will have already hit the problem before making there PW blank or removing it.
Also a last option is to factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser and complete the wizard which will resolve this as well.
Good Luck.
This may be related to an issue I reported here . In my case the password reverted to the previous password after a reboot. In the case of this post the OP may only have setup a password once which might explain why the password reverted to null. In my case the password had been changed several times. So in general maybe the Orbi reverts to the previous password (null if only one was set) when this issue is triggered.
I have not received any resolution on my issue but I am glad to see that another user is experiencing a related issue. This may inspire a solution from Netgear.
