Help in login into WAX610 after reset

Hope someone can help as a noobie with Access Point although it has been working for 7-8 months fine. I upgraded to the latest firmware 10.7.1.  The AP just would not send out a signal to IOT  or to any point .

So i rese the WAX610 which took a few time before it hold the Green LED. I  finally managed  to get to the point  of the login screen with my new login details which it reject even though i used the screenshot  details that it rebooted too. I need to login the unit to configure the vlans for IOT and other networks etc.

 

The AP is running as i can connect the AP  on Iphone, & PC 

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Default username and password (admin / password) as shown in the fine Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Access Point Model WAX610 Installation Guide still apply. The only exception applies if you have added the WAX610 to Insight - open the App, login accordingly, then head to to Locations -> Location Configuration - here you can define the local Device Admin Password. Give some moment to deploy before attempting a local login in case you have changed the admin password.
