admin password
I just rest my router and trying to go through the setup process. 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 i...
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. I am just trying to login to the orbi during the setup. 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.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. the lights should blink/flash when held long enough.
That'll get you back to the default login to the router. not the wifi.
