Nighthawk App on new Galaxy S22 can't login into dashboard.

I have a Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Wifi Router and recently upgraded my Android from an S8 to an S22. Now I am no longer able to log in through the Nighthawk App. I read the other posts and saw where someone suggested Force stopping the device and clearing the cache and data. I tried this and it still didn't fix my problem. I don't have VPN on it, I listed the new phone as a trusted device, removed the old devices from the trusted list. I have also uninstalled and installed a few times. I keep hitting a dead end when clicking on the go to Dashboard button. When I chose Dashboard, a pop up screen for a log in appears and user name is "admin" and can't be changed. I tried my passwords and even the default password to no avail. If I could change that defaulted admin user name I would be good to go.  Not sure what else to do, so I thought I'd post this to see if anyone can help me with the NIGHTHAWK App. It worked ok with my old phone. Thoughts, ideas?

Is the new Android one that has adopted the "security" measure of adopting a random mac address?

 

This "feature" has afflicted iOS users for some time.

Here's one take on the issue:
