Have you tried logging in through your browser using the IP address directly? e.g. 192.168.1.1

Yes, with the same result.

I assume you get a "Page not Found" (404) error? If so, and given that the router is working otherwise, it sounds like the internal web server used to provide the web pages is not working. I can't think of any solution beyond the normal reboot and, if that fails, hard reset to wipe all the parameters and start configuration from scratch. Of course, there's a risk with the latter that you wipe the parameters and then still can't access the settings and then you're worse off than you are now!

Sounds like I might be better off trying a hard reset (from the router) and then if I can access it, reverting the firmware to the previous version.
