Can't ssh into my new router

Just got a new router and I can't ssh into it. I can access LUCI normally, but when I try to ssh I get this:

root@192.168.1.1's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

It's a tp-link archer c7 v5

ssh root@192.168.1.1

sorry I forgot to copy it all:

$ ssh root@192.168.1.1
root@192.168.1.1's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

Specify lan access under luci settings and reattempt from a lan based device?

already did it

Update to a current stable if possible?

Running latest stable:
OpenWrt 22.03.5 r20134-5f15225c1e / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-23.093.57104-ce20b4a
just installed a few hours ago.

Factory reset new installation.
