MF286D changed admin password itself (Solved)

Hello guys, so I've been setting up a Ring doorbell for a friend and out of everything what seemed to work was changing the APN mode.

Anyhow. As soon as the Ring device successfully paired, they started to update their firmware. Once updated, the router itself went through a few boot cycles so I assume it also has updated.

Trouble is now the admin password on the label isn't being accepted, what's funny is that after a failed attempt the logging attempt counter does not count down it is stuck at 5. Ofcourse I tried "admin" as the password already and "root".

We hope that resetting default settings will sort the problem but I don't see how since I never changed the login password once, not even changed WiFi key.

Awfully strange behavior that, had anybody noticed something similar at all?

Update: stock password is now being accepted, perhaps this device was still updating something even though not appearing as doing so. Thus just preventing a login but giving an inaccurate message regarding the password being incorrect.
