Nighthawk X6 R8000 cannot login

Did you try a different pc/device?
or try a 30/30/30 reset?
push and hold reset for 30 seconds while powered on, then shut if off for 30 seconds while holding reset, then power it back up while still holding reset for 30 seconds.
Thanks for the help,
Tried all of the above. Including holding reset button for 30 sec (after which the unit restarts so I guess factory reset works).
I have an older Netgear router which I can access without a problem.
Is there any circumstance under which the admin user/password is changed?

30-30-30 reset did the trick!
And my internet speed just got bumped up by 4x =)
Thanks a lot for the support!
