Change admin password

I am trying to set up my Netgear AC1750 Router from the Nighthawk Ap.

When I get to the page to change the admin password. It wants a upper and lower case letter and at least 10 characters.

The problem I’m having is no matter what I put in the box every time I get this error message” Only alphanumeric (English only) characters are allowed.”

I don’t have anything other than “English characters on my keyboard?

What do I need to do?

    Try setting up the router with a wired PC and web browser like MS Edge or Firefox?
