AC1600 R6260 Can’t Reset Password
Nighthawk app prompted me to login as there had been updates to it.
I tried.
Kept asking me to provide an admin password.
Default password of password didn’t work.
All other typical passwords I use didn’t work.
Password on back of unit didn’t work.
Resetting to factory settings didn’t work.
Don’t recall the answers to my security questions for password reset.
What options are left?
Are there any or do I need to go buy a brand new router?

Hello,
Are you able to login through the web browser? You may try reinstalling the app and/or rebooting your router.
