Can't Change Default Password on MS510TX
I recently upgraded to the MS510TX switch. I have begun configuring the switch using the default password and the web browser interface. I updated to firmware version 6.7.0.51 (latest update) last ...
Update: I have tried another password variation that did NOT contain special characters, and that one was accepted and saved to the device. The password has now been changed from the default password, but it seems there are restrictions on multiple special characters that the system will actually acceptable.
Scratch SCC - it was EoL a long time before the MS510TX/MS510TXPP were launched. No idea why Netgear does still list SCC in the downloads for all these switches.
Have a bunch of MS510TX out in the field, convinced we have changed the passwords several times with 6.7.0.50 and 6.7.0.51.
This leads to the question which "special" chars are used in the new password, or why these might slide-through the input parsing.
I've tried several passwords that meet the requirements and utilize different special characters which should not be a problem. None of them work. I contacted the support team at NETGEAR and they are looking into the issue as well, but still have no clue why the password won't save.
