I cannot change the password on my router (actiontec) because it says the connection to the site is not private. I will add the user name and password, hit enter, and it will go to a "bad request" or nothing at all. I cannot override. I cannot do it on a private (incognito window), I clear my cache, I disabled my anti-virus. I was on verizon chat last night for 2 hours and even he couldn't figure it out. The verizon chat man said he will ask his associates and keep my window open for 24 hours but really Am I stuck with this long password?
Solved! Go to Correct Answer
I replied last night but apparently again I did something wrong cause it didn’t post😐 but anyway good news I got in! Apparently I must have created a password last year when I got this router (I do not remember this) signed in with admin and that password ( and believe me it was a total guess) automatically I went on another page to Google this further came back to original page and it was open! I stared at it for awhile wondering what did I type in? lol. It’s all good! I wanted to Thank everyone for trying to figure this out more helpful than Verizon chat!
Looks like my pictures didn't post....yet again. 🙄

Pictures are manually reviewed by the moderators. Hopefully they will show up soon.
Lawrence PM'ed me to advise that one picture was rejected. I might attempt to blur the questionable data and resubmit.
On the other hand, now that the OP has resolved the problem, it might not be necessary. 🤔
My church still has an Actiontec GT784WNV modem & Verizon DSL service (to discount what we pay for our POTS lines). If this is what you have, I can attempt to log into the unit with one of our computers and see what happens. I haven't tried to change the password though.
It has been a while since I last logged into the modem. My notes indicate that I didn't see much in the way of adjustable settings.
If I can't find the default U&P, I'll have to scan the Internet to get them again.

It's odd that a factory reset didn't reset the password. That's one of the main reasons to do a factory reset.
Glad you got it resolved! Happy the folk here were able to give you ideas.
