Cannot connect to AP535 with default credentials. LED status - Red

    Hello everyone,

     

    I work in a distributor company and was given a demo AP535 access point for testing/lab purposes. When i first connected it to the ethernet cable i went to the Web-GUI and it asked me to upload the firmware. I have done it, uploaded the Scorpio version of OS. Seemed like it upgraded it fine, but after the rebooting the system status LED become Red and when I try to enter the configuration menu it says that the default admin/admin credentials are incorrect. 

     

    What could be the reason of this? Could it be because I connected it to the VoIP cable of the company(because it has PoE). Please assist me to solve the issue

    I believe it was changed in Instant OS 8.5.0.0.  The password is now the serial number of the AP.
