Hub 5 will not accept router password, even after reset

Using the VM connect app that never seems to work Ive turned my sons nintendo switch off from the WiFi.

When I went to reactivate it the VM connect app says hub not located.  (seems to be a very common and frequent issue from what I've read on forums) 

So I tried doing it from the hub settings instead. But when putting password in (not the WiFi password before anyone suggests that) it wouldn't accept it. So I hard reset the router and tried again. Still nothing on either the app or the hub accepting the password after the hard reset.

Is there anything else I can try. 

Done the 60s reset

No mothing, however note the printing of the Hub 5 information is not the best. Just check you are 100% sure of the admin(settings) password.  There is no recovery method btw.  If everything fails then a new Hub will be required.

Just to confirm Reset means: 
1) Press & hold the Reset button for 60 seconds
2) The Hub must remain powered on to perform the factory reset process. ( be patient )

VM Hubs are known to abort the reset process if powered off before the factory reset completes.

I find I have to add a space after the final character of the password before clicking Enter for it to be accepted.
