Default password not working after resetting router

During initial setup, the default password "password" is not working. I reset the router twice, still not working. The Orbi connects to my modem and to the satellites, but I cannot login to router settings. 

What gives?

Re: Default password not working after resetting router

Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering into the RBRs web page.

 

When you reset the RBR and enter the web page, it should present you with a setup wizard. If you didn't see this, then the RBR was not fully reset. Be sure to press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release. Once the top LED is slowly pulsating WHITE, then enter the web page and begin the setup wizard.
