WAC730 can't change default PW & not found by WC7500
Hi, I am trying to add a WAC730 as a controlled AP of my WC7500. The WC currently controls 4 WAC720 and 1 WAC730. I have plenty of licenses left and I am swapping out one of the 720's for the 730. All the currently-working APs were discovered and added easily. This WAC730 is giving me much trouble.
I factory reset the WAC730, however the WC7500 will not discover it. The good news is it is getting a DHCP IP. When I access the web UI it redirects to an HTTPS connection which causes a browser warning, then I can log in with default "admin/password". However it immediately requires me to set a strong password, which I do, but then when I try to log in with the new password it fails. I can log in again with default "admin/password" and the cycle repeats so I am effectively locked out the the AP. If I try to SSH into the WAC730, I get "connection refused". So it is not saving the new password. The password is at least 8 upper and lower case letters and numbers (no special characters for now).
How can I 1) get the WC7500 to take control of this AP and 2) successfully change the PW on this AP?
The WAC730 is running fw ver: 3.9.1.13 and the WC7500 is at fw ver: 6.5.3.2

I can add that after a hard reset, the IP address does NOT revert to 192.168.0.100, instead, the DHCP settings are retained and the AP gets assigned the same IP address.
