Thanks, Tim. But no, that didn't work. For the record, that page said: 1) password access requirement is turned OFF 2) username default is ADMIN 3) password is BLANK But I distinctly recall the username is "admin" (all lower case), even though the manual stated the username was "Admin". The password was short, like 5 or 6 characters, but definitely not blank. I tried all of the above anyway. No go.
