Hi plemans
as I said I did try to reset the password and it does meet the requirements, to the point it actually confirm the pwd was changed.
The SN is cached as you can see (deleted part of it, obviously) so it's correct.
But once done, I'm back to the pwd reset page
Id power off the modem for 30 seconds then back ON.
Using a different browser, MS Edge or FireFox or Opera, try logging in to the modems web page. Be sure your interring in the correct PW values.
Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the modems web page.
If this fails, try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard and this time re-enter in a new PW. I would avoid using spcial characters. I use Two Upper case characters, 3 lower case characters, then numbers afterwards and it works for my CAX80. UUabcde123 for example.
