admin password

Question

I just rest my router and trying to go through the setup process.&nbsp; When i get to where i need to login to my orbi and admin is the username, I try "password" as the password and it keeps telling me its wrong. I tried the Network key password, my password for my orbi account, and nothing is working. Please help.

logging into the wifi or the gui?&nbsp;if you haven't change it the defaults are:login: adminpassword: password&nbsp;make sure there's no spaces and its all lower case. Make sure any password managers are disabled.&nbsp;&nbsp;You could also try another browser/pc

wifi. And i have already tried using password as the password. And you can't change the username from admin so I don't know what else to put as the password.

it should have the wifi password on the label.

but you can always hardwire a pc/laptop into the router and log into it and view/change the ssid.

It doesn't have to do with the wifi.&nbsp; I am just trying to login to the orbi during the setup.&nbsp; The admin is the username and none of the passwords are working. I tried everything on the back of the orbi and also used password (what it should be) as my password.

Reset it again.&nbsp;Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. the lights should blink/flash when held long enough.&nbsp;That'll get you back to the default login to the router. not the wifi.&nbsp;
