Factory reset problems
I have the firmware that came with it, not sure what that is, I cannot seem to connect to it because I forgot my password for admin and also, my router is being obnoxious and acting like my recovery ...

Actually, good news, I tried to do it while the thing was plugged in, but with something much sharper... and this time it reset.
I have my nighthawk under my control again... thank God...
🙂 So this I guess is solved

Does the 30-30-30 reset change anything?

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
