Orbi satellite manual firmware upgrades not working

When I try to manually update my satellites to install the hot patch, I can't log in to the satellites using the same login as my router. The boxes that pop up is http://192.168.1.3/fwUpdate.htm and http://192.168.1.5/fwUpdate.htm

I also tried the default Netgear login/password (admin/password) with no luck.

 

The dialogue I get when I click cancel is:

 

401 Unauthorized

Access to this resource is denied, your client has not supplied the correct authentication.

 

I assume there must be some sort of "hidden" password if the Router password is not passed through? Any advice/suggestions?

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

I reset the satellites (holding the reset pin while power is connected), added them back to the network, and the password now match, so I was able to manually upgrade the FW.
