gs108tv3 hangs during local login
updated firmware to v7.0.1.20; that went well and everything was ok.
then updated firmware to v7.0.5.2; that appeared to go ok.
It appears to work ok as all the devices can access the network.
however, I cannot login to the switch.
I enter the default password, then browser window is all white and it hangs at:
https://192.168.168.12/chg_password.html?aj4=2695e26&bj4=5ec48c785cad7da8ccce94a76beee6fb
I have left it there for a long timel; nothing.
I have power cycled it; nothing.
Any thoughts or ideas welcome.
thanks, jon

Are you still able to get replies when you ping the IP Address of the GS108Tv3?
Have you tried to clear the cache of the browser you are using or tried to use other browsers? If not yet, kindly try it. You may also try to use Incognito mode of Chrome and check if you can login to the web-GUI of the GS108Tv3.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I should have posted earlier.
I left the browser window and went off to other things
Eventually, I came back and the change password screen was up.
I put in a new password and then everything was working again.
I didn't ask to change the password; somehow in updating the
firmware it thought I needed to.

Some California law ref. password strength (ridiculous it is...) required an update to a stronger password.
