WAX610 Password for Restore Invalid
I have a couple of WAX610 access points. The first one I configured and then backed up the config file with the admin password.
Now I want to load that config on the second AP to configure it but on trying to restore I always get the message 'Invalid Password'. I am sure that I am using the correct password, since I have the two guis open at the same time and paste the password when doing the backup and right thereafter paste it again when trying to restore that file on the other AP.
I also verified that the password contains only valid characters. It should since I'm using the admin's password and the login works.
What could be the problem here?
Thank you

Ok, I realized that the firmware on the second AP was older than the one on the AP that's config was saved. After upgrading the firmware on the second AP, the restore with the given password worked.
If that was the reason then it would be beneficial to have a correct error message.
