Default Can't access modem settings anymore in browser?

I have a Motorola Surfboard SB5101E with Haxoware installed. I was changing all my MAC'S on it yesterday, which I have done many times before, and when I rebooted it, I could no longer access the modem settings. I've had the modem powered down over night and it still doesn't work. I've tried changing the ethernet MAC in SMAC and even deactivated SMAC and it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how I can acces the modem settings?

I think I know why I can't access the modem settings. I changed the last few digits of the serial number number. I've just realised, I've never changed that before and done it this time by mistake. Does anybody know how I can get back into it?

Put the original serial number in? It will be located physically on the modem somwhere, just need to look.

I can't access the settings to change it back!

I made a note of the serial number on the Haxorware screen a while back, so if I can get access to the settings, I can change it back.

Changing serial number will not affect you getting into modem settings.

Try restarting your computer and modem and checking ethernet cable.

I've had the modem powered down for over 24 hours, restarted the PC lots of times, and the ethernet cable is fine as it works in my subbed modem. Thanks for the suggestions though.
