Hi Blanca_O
Very many thanks for your message. I still cannot get the Orbi app to work at the moment. However, I managed to trigger a firmware update on the Orbi from my iMac and could then follow the procedure you pointed me to, to reset my password. I might be able to use the Orbi app now but working from the iMac is fine for me, so happy to close this.
Best wishes
