Are you trying to log in through a browser or through the app?
you do need to make sure its not capitalized.
default login: admin
default password: password
no spaces, all lower case.
after the reset, try a different pc/laptop and/or browser
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried the nighthawk app, google chrome, Microsoft edge, and safari with no luck.
I've reset the router, pushed the factory reset, etc.
Using admin and password - all lower case with no spaces.
resetting the password gives me a new password of @newgid
That does not work either - seems I'm just going around in a circle
wifi is working as I can connect and use the internet, etc.
Have you tried a 30/30/30 reset?
1. push and hold reset for 30 seconds while powered on2. unplug it while still holding reset and leave it off for 30 seconds
3. plug it back in while still holding reset and continue to hold it for 30 seconds.
that should clear out all settings and get it back to default.
You're only other option would be to try a tftp/nmrpflash recovery.
