In one of the documents I've read while trying to resolve this, it said that 'special' characters should not be used in the router password.  And of course, my password has a 'special' character (+) in it. 

So, now I'm wondering if the special character is part, if not the root cause, of my problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if the passwords use a one-way encryption.  I.e. there is no way to get the password back except brute force trying.

For my router the rules only say

"the password must be at least 6 characters long and include at least one alpha numeric character.  The password cannot begin with characters such as "?!@#$%^&*". "

I.e. at least some special characters are valid.  

Suggestions for the future.  Save your configuration first unless starting from a reset.  Then change your id/password combination and logout.  Then Login again and make other changes.
