I decided to do a reset of my wifi router (I just wanted to) which is a tplink archer c8 router. Now I cant log in at all. After a reset it just asks me for a password (no user name). Before it would ask me for the user name and password but now it only asks for a password (doesnt mention anything about a user name).

How can I log on? The default password is admin but that is not working.
 
yes there is, but none of it is working. In the past i would be prompted to enter a user name and password, but after I upgarded the firmware (few months back) after this reset it only asks for a password. Something isnt right. I wonder if the firmware upgrade changed the login process. Do you think that is an option?
 
since it doesnt prompt me with a user name, the only option i have is to enter a password. And when I use the default password, it doesnt work. What are the odds my router is screwed up and I need to buy a new one?
