R8000P update firmware won't work

Windows 10

Modem CM1200

 

trying to upgrade to V1.4.2.84-1.3.42

 

Cannot log into 192.168.1.1.  Cannot find security to reset password.  Reset router didn't seem to change the log in to:  admin/password. 

 

Thank you, Carole

    When you reset, push and hold until the lights blink while powered on.

    Try holding up to 30 seconds 

    the login/password is case sensitive

      Thank you, thank you.  I did reset and got a new password etc.  It wouldn't update the firmware but baby step.  Have a nice day.
