Admin login on Nighthawk R7000

Trying to change my admin password on my R7000 router.

I had changed my admin password which it accepted. However when I click continue it just takes be back to the login screen which will not accept my new password but take my old password and then take me to the change password screen again. I tried many times with the same result. I really did not want to reset my router, was hoping to find a easier solution.

Would anyone please help.
