after upgrading GS324T to 1.0.0.41 I can't login anymore
I upgraded the firmware of my GS324T to 1.0.0.41 (from the previous 1.0.0.38), but now I can't login anymore. I always get the message Login failure. The strange thing is that the switch seems t...

Thus I thought maybe the firmware upgrade reset the password (since the upgrade fixes a few security vulnerabilities), but I tried all of Netgear's standard passwords, but to no avail.
Nothing the like. Since some much earlier firmware releases from about 2019 there was just changing the default password was enforced. However, you had ben able to login before for the update.
Tried to use the [log in] button instead pf pressing the <enter> key?
Nope, the <enter> key does not work either. I am really puzzled by this. Never had any issues like this one.

Thank you for trying. The issue I had in mind was more the other way round.
Dropping the browser cache might help, too.
What browser make and version, what base OS?
I tried Firefox and Safari. I also cleared the cache. It did not help. I'm using macOS 10.14.6, but I am not sure what the OS has to do with it. I could log in 2 hours ago (before the upgrade).
I don't want to be ungrateful, but the upgrade messed something up. It either changed the password to an arbitrary value or maybe restricted the access to a specific IP address. But I am not using the default network that Netgear uses upon factory reset, so that's that.
I am not sure, whether Netgear devs are reading this, but they should have done better QA. The update locked me out of my switch. At least I can still use my network, but I do need access to my switch....
Is there a way to tell the switch to boot into the other image? If this is not possible without logging in, this dual image feature is pretty much useless.....
