Locked out of c6300 router
Log into 192.168.0.1 the login popup comes up, use the admin and password and it says it does not recognize it. The recovery screen eventually pops up and gives me the EXACT username and password I just tried.. try it again and it says it does not recognize it. Reset the modem and the same thing happens. How can I get into the modem/router with using a hammer !!! This seems to be an issue with Netgear equipment after a couple of years.
Its the damn browser.. firefox won't allow you to log in for some reason. Had to try Edge ( which sucks) and it worked)

Firefox was probably remembering an old password.
Try the Firefox lockwise extension.
- AnswerpleaseAspirantFirefox was not remembering an old password I don't allow browsers to do that. I was able to access it through FF a few months ago.. they must have pushed an update either for the router or FF that screwed up the ability.. I find it odd though that I can access it through edge.
