Stuck on Router Password Reset
I've tried login in to my R8000p router today and used the wrong password, then the right password with caps on by mistake. Not my finest hour..... 192.168.1.1 is now redirecting me to the Router...

My impression is that Password Recovery is triggered when someone enters an invalid password three times in a row.
It might be that closing the web browser, waiting a while and then starting the login process again will work.

If not, you might have to do a paper-clip reset.
