Netgear JGS516PE updating firmware

I too am having issues with the JGS516PE.
Not one, but two of them.
I cannot log into the web interface, even after a 10 second depressing of the "Factory Reset" button.
The switch does show up with the default 192.168.0.239 IP, according to the ProSafe Plus Configuration Utility, but the login webpage will not accept any of the typical passwords that Netgear typically uses for this switch.
Using the Utility, when entering a password, "IP SETTING - Command is not supported by agent!" message pop-up's up.
1. Can this be Factory Reset to fix this issue, and just what is that procedure ?
2. Can the firmware be TFTP'd to resolve this issue ?
Regards,
Brian

Only one must be connected at the same time, especially if the devices are in the default status and there is no DHCP supplying individual device IP config. More than one device on the same ip and network will lead to issues.
The protocol used by the configuration utility was disabled on all switches (new factory default since the recent firmware updates) , limiting the usage to discovery only.
The devices need a valid IP, either just the default on an isolated network (the .239, and as stated only one at the time), or DHCP to start with the switch config from the default using a Web browser to the switch IP.
