HP switch - can't login after firmware upgrade
I have a HP 2530-24G (H9776A) switch.
With the previous firmware I did have a manager user with an empty password.
After upgrading to the last firmware YA.16.03.0004 (the one with the new GUI) I cannot login with "manager".
I tried to clear the passwords using the clear button, didn't work, it keeps asking me for password (an empty one won't work).
I tried to reset the switch, same results.
Front panel security is all enabled:
HP-2530-24G> show front-panel-security
Clear Password - Enabled
Reset-on-clear - Disabled
Factory Reset - Enabled
Password Recovery - Enabled
Diagnostic Reset - Enabled
clear-button - Enabled
serial-console - Enabled
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
As stated, my previous manager password (before upgrading the firmware) was empty.
Trying your suggestion with user "password" and my password (which is empty) didn't work.
I can only login as operator without any password.
During the time since the firmware upgrade I tried different combinations for the manager password (enabled, password, manager, etc'), none of it was accepted.
Thanks.
