RBS850 Password & Orbilogin Confusions - Could use some help please?
Morning all. Have an RBS850 and 4 sats which work a treat. But I need get web page login to the router to change some 2.4Ghx channel settings .... as advised by component supplier.
Trouble is for reasons unknown, I'm failing the 2 security questions. Answers are 100% correct but must be spelt wrong or suchlike. Have tried variations for hours.
Have tried following the PW change routine (i.e option Cancel) but no page options come up.
Would be a huge help to get the right Orbilogin address and procedure to reset PW. A bit nervous about resetting everything but in reality it's a vanilla setup and I can use same PW again etc. But a step through how that's best done would be great. I have done it but ages back.
Many thanks in advance. Happy to provide any other data needed to help with an answer.
Strangely I can login on the app without any trouble at all.

Apologies for the slow reply from my side to your posts. They are really helpful and I've printed them off to read and work though.
An unexpected bout of illness has meant I'm behind on this sorry but thought I'd best write to say it's not forgotten and will be worked through .... fingers crossed this coming weekend.
Thanks for taking the time with both posts and solutions and I will be back to you asap.
Sounds good. Take your time and get better. Have a good week.
