I have an RT-AC68U Asus Router. The admin password stopped working. After many unsuccessful tries, I did a factory reset.

After the reset, the router gives the following error:

The resource, [Asus RT-AC66: Cannot Login Unless Logout Another User First](https://fatmin.com/2017/03/06/asus-rt-ac66-cannot-login-unless-logout-another-user-first/#:%7E:text=This%20error%20is%20usually%20caused,or%20if%20your%20browser%20crashed), suggests using `ssh` if possible:

However, after a factory reset, the ssh is *not* enabled.

The other suggestion is:

I have already power-cycled the router and that did not resolve the issue.

Any thoughts?
