Orbi WiFi 6 Passwords

I'm trying to change my Orbi password but I'm having a devil of a time doing it.  It would help of course to know Netgears policy regarding router passwords which I know nothing about.  Is there a maximum length  they can be?  6? 10? 15?  20?  25? 30? Well I know the minimum length but again I'm not sure if there is a maximum one.

 

I'm using the "acceptable" symbols I think but yet nothing seems to be happening when I click on "change password". Any advice?

    Are you chaning the admin log in paswword? 

    if so, then NG likes 1 capital and a number in the mix and a minimum of 8 characters. NGorbi850 for an example.
