WAC720 no login after factory reset firmware 3.9.1.0 and ssh seems is disabled
I just have upgraded the WAC720 firmware from 3.9.0.1 to 3.9.1.0.
After upgrade I couldn't login anymore (password has an exclamaion mark in it).
As ssh was disabled I factory reset the device by pressing the reset button for about 5 seconds.
The unit is reset as it is on the default SSID, but I still can't login?!
What is going on with the firmware; how can I login again?
I have 2 WAC720's and with exactly the same problem.
I get the login prompt in the webinterface, and it should be on the default password, but doesn't accept anything.
Are both my WAC720's useless now after this firmware upgrade?
Problem solved!
The error message I got at every logon was: "400 Bad Request
[Access Denied] Third party application is trying to access AP"Both WAC720's got their IP addresses via an DHCP reservation so I could access them via an url instead of an IP address.
It seems that accessing the WAC720 with firmware 3.9.1.0 via an url is a problem now, as doing it via IP address works?!
It's still awkward, but for now I can configure my devices again.
Thanks.
