Update reset my root password

After updating to firmware version 7.506, I can no longer log in to the console.  What is the new root password and how do I reset it?

I am still able to log in to the webconsole.  I went into management, system settings, and reset system passwords now.

After restarting, I am still unable to use the root account.

I tried :
root / root
root / test
root / (blank)

Still no luck.[:@]
Please advise.
