Can no longer login to my CM2050V modem
Hello. I've been using a CM2050V modem that I purchased for use with Comcast a little over a year without issue. When I got it, I changed the login password, as the default password was "admin". Now...

I got it to work. Had to do a few of the resets on the back, and a 2 min power down. Then was able to use the password printed on the bottom and login.
But when I went to change it to the password that I had been using (6 lower case characters and several numbers) it said that one character now had to be capitalized or use a special character. So I did the same password as before but capitalized the first letter. Now I can log in. But something must of changed, for my old password not to log in, had to factory reset, login with the defaults password, then use when trying to change to my old password I had to capitalize the first letter.

Ah good to hear.
Ya, NG has been implementing Caps and a special character though most of the time the special character is optional.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. 📡
