If you are seeing the SetupMeUp SSID, than the AP is likely at Factory Default settings - unless the admin credentials were already changed.
If the AP is running code newer than 8.4, than the default credentials will be admin and serial number. Are you entering in upper case?
Do you have other IAPs on the same subnet? If they formed a cluster during a boot, then the password maybe the serial of a different AP.
Has this AP ever been registered with Aruba Central?

Depending on the firmware version. The initial password is now the serial number of the AP.

Are you pressing the button, as the AP Boots UP?
Press/Hold the Button > Plug in the AP to Power/PoE > Hold Button for 10 more seconds.
