Try the reset 1 more time. But try it like this.
1. unhook the coax from the c6300
2. make sure its powered on. When its fully booted, push and hold reset for up to 30 seconds.
3. After the c6300 fully reboots/reset, try using chrome or edge on a different pc/laptop to get it working. If you don't have a different one, try clearing cache/cookies from the browser. Check your extensions to make sure none are blocking.
4. also check your password autofill settings or any password managers. Many times they can overwrite a password if its already been filled in
5. also check for spaces and capitalization. There shouldn't be any spaces and it should all be lower case.
