can't find my user name

I was going to update my firmware for my R6220, but the URL asks for a user name and password, and nothing that I have tried works. Where can I find this info?

  • The user name is always admin. If you haven't changed the password, then the default password should be password. If you forgot the password, then you will have to perform a factory reset by pushing the physical reset button for at least 8 seconds.

      Thanks. That got me in. Now I'm supposed to click on maintenance, but that's not there.
