I updated my Belkin-F5D8235-4v2 router with a firmware in Nov. The router's working in general. The webGUI is accessible but renders with some non-navigable page.
I did the 30-30-30 hard reset. Everything looks fine but not the GUI. It seems to ask me to change username, password with unreadable texts and non-working submit button. I couldn't get the exact version since it's no longer readable from the GUI but the firmware is from Nov 2019 as I remembered.
Now, I'm stuck with the initial state. Is there a way to do a firmware upgrade in this case or any fix?
1) acked. Thanks. Do you know how to submit the form via URL (GET?) so that I can set the password from the initial page and then telnet will be available?
2) Chrome & Safari on Mac. Tried also Chrome on Windows10
3) definitely if I can find a way to flash .
I tried tftp. No luck so far. I attached the screenshot here in case anyone know what to do.

You may wish to try IE or Edge on Win10, IE may actually work better OR Firefox ESR / Waterfox Classic OR Opera OR Pale Moon. The FF ESR Portable version in this post in another thread works:
As far as TFTP, not entirely sure if you can ping, power, put this one, but I found a thread on how to de-brick that might wind up being of some use if you can't seem to flash it normally or get TFTP to work:

Edge on Win10 resulted the same to the screenshot above.
I'll try FF ESR. Hope it works. It looks like a similar problem from the screenshot in another post. Hope it works. I'll report here the result.
FF ESR, WaterFox didn't work but I got it fixed !!
It looks like just the GUI's messed up but all functions are working. So, I modified the html code basically by adding
<input type='submit'> inside the <form> tag. -- change the initial username & password. -- It worked.
Similarly for the firmware upgrade, go to "http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.asp"
change the html code on the browser by adding <input type='submit'> inside the <form> tag again. Select the updated firmware:
