can't reset admin PW for AX4200 router
I try to login to my Orbi RBR750 on a browser set to 192.168.1.1. It asks for a name and PW, I enter "admin" and a password(that doesn't work). After a few attempts it has me put in the serial number to reset the password. I answer a couple security questions and then edit a page to create a new password. I put in a new password (twice) on the this page but when I then I then try to login using "admin" and the new PW it still fails. I've tried a couple different browsers and many times, but no luck.
The help says if I click on "cancel" at the login page and enter the serial number, it will show me the current password. But that doesn't seem to happen

Press the reset button for 15 seconds then release. Connect 1 wired PC to the back of the RBR and use a web browser to walk thru the setup wizard.
Be sure to clear out ALL browser caches.
Try a different browser, IE11, MS Edge or FireFox.
