R7800 is not accept reset!
Hi,
I need my old router for my home network. I tried to use my login info but it didn't work.
I tried to reset with 7 or 10 sec rules but still gateway IP is 10.0.0.1 and not accepting admin/password login info. I reset many times but result is same; like reset was not working on it.
After login tries, it asked me questions about my school and friend but I didn't set anything like that! I'm stuck in a vicious circle!
What can I do with this brick to use it like in my old happy days?
Thanks,

After a Factory Reset, the credentials are set to user "admin" and password "password" (lower case)
I tried but Factory Reset is not working on it.
After resetting, the gateway IP must be 192.168.1.1 but it's my previous setting 10.0.0.1 and "admin" and "password" login info is not working. Router also not accepting my old login info.
It sent me to password recovery screen; asked serial number and 2 questions which not accepting my answers.
I use nmrpflash to update firmware, didn't know may be it could help but I'm at the same point :\
Next time, give a 30-30-30 reset a try. This should kick in full factory reset and get the router back to defaults.
Enjoy.
