The admin login page only prompts for a password, not a username.

I'm pretty sure I set up a new admin username. How do I enter that and the password?

I'm getting login failures with just the password. I saved it with a password manager, I'm not entering it wrong.

I know I can reset the router and start over, but with over 20 devices connected, I'll lose my mind if I have to do that.

power cycle modem, router, and pc. Try clearing your browser history and cookies and try again. Also you can try a different browser or computer. Best to sign off before trying to sign on with a different device.

Router reset in my future. angry

Sounds like it. If the router is in a secure place, you can also tape the user id/password to it. I know someone that has all their user id and password printed. They put extra characters before and after the printed password so they ignore the first three characters and the last one. Also after it is up and stable, back it up so you have a backup to save time re-entering those settings.
