admin password works and doesn't work

[spyderay]

Recently changed the admin password to something more secure (KeePass generated). Can no longer log on to admin via browser but can via genie (which doesn't give me access to all settings). Reluctant to reset because of wireless card access list which I assume will not be preserved. Suggestions?:confused:

Router password usually will not like any special character and may have caused the issues or simple gotten corrupted.

You have NO choice but to reset and loose all the settings. Next time make router back (*.cfg) sot that you can restore the configuration

No specials in password; all alphanumeric. Just too long, perhaps.

I would experiment on length on password
