How are you trying to access the thing after the reset?
Disconnect it from everything and plug it into a PC that is also connected to nothing else. Then you should be able to use the usual access methods. They will not work if it is on the same network as something else.
so i need to disconnect evrything from the router??? because as soon as i reset it all of my devices in my household automatically connect

I'm confused. Which "router" are we talking about there?
In bridge mode, the R7450 is not functioning as a router.
You subject says, "stuck in bridge mode". Was the R7450 connected by wifi to another router?
Because you said it was in bridge mode, I assumed that it was connected to another router.
If it wasn't, then it wasn't in "bridge mode".
The reset will also have removed it from bridge mode,
Take us through the network. What is the modem at the front end? Is there another router in there? If so what is it?
I begin to suspect that your issue is very different from the subject and that "bridge mode" has nothing to do with it.
Okay so my internet cable comes in to my house and connects directly to my R7450. I was expierancing issues with my internet. I was getting Double NAT errors on different devices. It was suggested that i try and put my R7450 into Bridge mode to see if that resolved those issues, which it did but then it caused even worse issues. SO now I am trying to just get my R7450 out of bridge mode and back to normal.
