Admin password reset issues on BT Smarthub

[Phil_8049]

HI

I went to change my admin password on my BT Smarthub, through the MyBT app.

On entering correct password, I keep getting incorrect password, try again.

Tried on a browser through the 192.168.1.254 IP address for hub manager, same error details again, together with a warning triangle, connection not secure (same on various browsers).

I have phoned BT, got through after 40 minutes, then was put on hold for a further 15 minutes, only to be informed that there is  nothing they can do, and will send out a new hub!

Has anyone had similar issues, its driving me mad.

are you connected to your home network?  are you entering the admin password not the wireless password

Hi

I'm entering admin password and am connected, no issues there.

I tried and looked through options on the app but could not find section to change admin password

[Phil_8049]

That's correct, only option I have is to try and go through the IP option, which I tried and failed spectacularly.

I suppose when I get new hub, I'll just have to leave admin password as is, so I don't have to through all that b****x again 🙄

Have you tried a factory reset of the hub?

[Phil_8049]

Hi, I did think of doing that thank you, but wondered if I needed to put the admin password in to access other hub details.

Open the MyBT App

Tap 'More' (bottom right hand corner)

Tap 'Your Wi-Fi Network'

Tap on your hub.

Change Admin Password is in there

I've done all that, but it wont let me in as password isn't being accepted!
