Just installed Merlin, changed admin login to https, now I'm locked out

[opensourcehw]

Hi all, been a lurker on these forums for years. I used to use DD-WRT on various routers(I do not consider myself a power user, just someone who dabbled in it, set it and forget it, come back to it years later only having to relearn much), but any how I finally have myself a AX86U.

So I install Merlin, start to tinker with security settings(I have much to learn and relearn), and I enable only HTTPS for the admin log in thinking it would be a better idea instead of leaving it at HTTP.... lo and behold now I cannot even access the login. I did some searching and see that I should have made a certificate first and accepted it on the browser.

Any how do I have any options? I was thinking I'd have to factory reset the router and start all over again.

Edit: Nevermind! I tried :8443 at the end and it worked! I feel so silly, like I said, much more for me to learn...
