routerlogin.net Keeps Asking for me to Reset my Password - Can't Login
Everytime I try to login via routerlogin.net it ALWAYS takes me to the reset my password page where it asks for my serial number and security question. I've done it like 10 times. I've tried everything. I've powered down my router, clearched cache and cookies, done it on private browsing, forget the network. No matter what I do I cannot login, it always asks me to reset my password and then when I finish and go to login it asks me to reset my password again.

Are you meeting the minimum requirements for the new password?

I finally got this to work after resetting my router for the unteenth time, clearing all chache and cookies for all time again, forgetting the network and using incognito browsing with Google Chrome.
I don't know why it took doing it several times but glad it is finally working.- FURRYe38Guru - Experienced User
Might try a different browser next time.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
