Hey there! Same things is happening to me. When setting up my device via phone, I was instructed to set up a new username so I did. Unfortunately, the Nighthawk app believes that admin is the only username so I can't log in. Did you have any luck resolving this?

Which username were you invited to setup? It will not be the router. That is and always has been admin.
There are several other "usernames" it might have been. It won't have been the browser graphical user interface.

Unlikely. The steps you describe are not the same.

You have joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.
If you do want help with your problem, check previous stuff that may be related then start your own discussion.
If you do decide to ask a question, you should provide more details and your own version of the information that the forum suggests that you provide. For example, as this is a router, it helps to know what modem you are using and the various things that you have tried to fix the problem.
