WAC510 cannot login after changing the default password for user admin
I tried twice now.
1. open the web interface (using LAN)
2. do the mandatory initial device setup
3. changed the default password for the user "admin"
4. click on "apply" - device redirects me to the login page
5. try to login. Login not possible with user "admin" and the new password (message: "Login invalid")
6. reset the device to factory defaults
7. goto 1.
My new password contains characters (lowercase, uppercase), numbers and the "@" char. Length of the new password: 14 characters.
Anyone any idea?
First of all: RTFM! Chapter "Change the Admin User Account Password":
The password must be between 4 and 12 characters in length.
Dear Netgear,
that's really mean. Instead of leaving the hint in the manual, why not adding a simple validation to the web UI?
Current Firmware:
V1.2.5.11
