Mathematically/technically it does indeed, but won't be a good solution. The class C private IP address range is only 192.168.x.x, comprising 256 subnets of 255 devices each. Addresses outside that range (e.g. 192.169.x.x.) are publically routable address, not a private address.
Can you google what the default password for that device was? Am guessing it has reset to factory default.

Sure IANA provides that but since it’s private and gets NAT when it leave your network you can use whatever you want.
Lots of companies do it to save registered IP space.
Sure... but why would a company choose to use 192.0.0.0, when they could use the 10.0.0.0 private class A address range for internal usage?

More networks I guess. Class A gives you more host.
Ok - makes sense

Kind why moving to IPv6 because IPV4 so saturated.Ok - makes sense
With IPv6 you can flatten the network.
All switched network since everyone will have a registered IP.
No more NAT.

Do you have the correct user selected (admin, user, or guest)?
Have you tried typing your password into a word doc (so you can see it all as you type it) then copying and pasting into the password field to log in?
If all else fails, there's a small reset button on the back near all the connections.

I have tried Admin and user and guest
have tried the re set button
I was hoping to find a factory reset but I am thinking the password is some where on my windows passwords and not saved in the hardware
its so frustrating as it was all working fine the other day and I have not changed anything that I am aware off

Did you try the simple stuff like caps lock?
As far as the reset button, it is detailed in the manual...

Hi 400bird
it must look like I am a Compleat idiot lol lol
but I was logging on quite happily the other day,
I have tried the factory reset,
But My point is, my pc has to remember a password, no ????
the insight home and my pc must be out of sink??
If I reset the insight home, wont the password saved on my pc be my old password, but the insight home is now at factory reset and looking for a new password, if I type in a completely new password the PC wont match it
or have I gone mad.
or is the admin password I originally set, held at Schneider ??

Did you tell it to save the PW? Also it's the browser specifically that saves the PWs not the computer.
Chrome on my computer won't save this PW, not for the Insight.
Plus, that's not a good security strategy. Passwords as there to protect what's behind them. Make it easier to remember if you don't care what's behind it. If you computer dies, you'd loose access to the Insight and have to do a hard reset again and wipe all your settings.
TBH I am not sure where the password gets saved.
I was watching David Powal on you tube and following what he did,
It worked for me
once I had typed the web page number 192.100.1 or whatever it was, schneider page came up, it showed admin and asked for a password,
the default was Admin123 and once that worked, schneider page asked you to change the password.
it showed admin (you could not change that part) and all you could do was type in your own personal password which I did.
The insight home then opened.
I had logged out and in at least once.
I had other things to do, powered down my conext inverter and turned off the batteries
when I tried it earlier, I forgot to use my Wi-Fi to search for the modem and simply opened up the 192.100.1 page, it obviously would not open as My PC was not connected to my insight now.
I realised what I had forgotten to do, so I searched my wi fi, found my insight home, typed page 192.100.1 and then this password problem has plagued me.

When you held down the reset button for 12 seconds did it beep 4 times? 3 times? Any beeps?

Number of beeps is critical. All 4 choices cause a restart.
There are two different logins with Insight Home. There is a the local login which has a default user of "Admin" and whatever password you gave it. There is also the Insight Cloud login assuming you created an account and connected your Insight Home to the cloud.
I log into Insight Cloud and I can see all the info and devices. Insight Cloud will prompt you for the local login if you try to save any configuration changes. You can also connect directly to the Home Insight's SSID Wifi broadcast. In fact you may have to do that the first time to get it to connect to the Cloud if you can't get into to it using it's default IP address.
Its all sorted now.
I ended up finally getting through to schneider tec.
I gave them all my serial numbers etc, and would you believe it, the reset actually worked!!!!!
strange how it would NOT work previously, before sending in my serial numbers.
I re-set the unit. I followed the same procedure as I did the first time, BUT THIS TIME I used a 10-digit password instead of the 8 digit I used the first time, and it's all working as it should.
