Logging into my router, but forgot my security questions
Trying to login to my router, But I have forgot my security questions. Must be the capitalization or something

Did you actually provide the answers to those questions when you set up the router?
If password recovery is enabled, but you have not set the answers to the questions, it keeps sending you back to the beginning of the process. If you haven't already given the thing your personal answers, they are not in its memory and it has no way of knowing if they are correct.
If the standard factory password (password) does not work, then you will have to factory reset the thing to get back to that. Then either disable password recovery (check the manual for your device) or provide some answers to those questions.
