I just changed my password to a longer password (20 chars) which includes a special character (?). Now I can't log into the router.

I am hoping to not have to reset and start over but that is probably the case.

Does anyone know what the limitations for admin passwords are? Seems like a bug that it lets me set an invalid password..

The issue is that only 16 chars are used in the password. When I just typed in the first 16 chars I can log in.
