WAX630e wont accept known password to login to setup

I'm setting up my new WAX630e WiFi 6e access point locally and all goes fine. I enter all the zero-day setup information correctly including the password that is to access local setup. It then exits the Zero-day setup, takes sever seconds, or at least a minute and eventually presents the logon screen. Upon entering the user name and password previously set in the Zero-day setup the WAX630e responds with 'incorrect password' if I keep repeating the name and password the WAX630e will soon lock my out for minutes and the more I try the longer the lockout penalty.

I am able to connect to the internet with my phone through the WAX630e so that part is working.

I have reset the AP multiple times and entered the Zero-day information repeatedly even trying different passwords and always the same result. I am using the local setup and not the cloud managed setup. (I don't wish to subscribe, even though the first year is free)

Anyone have this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks.
