Dashboard works but can't login to pi-star on 2nd WiFi net

Very strange. My pi-star works great AT HOME - no serious issues, but still learning about getting it all to work together. I use 3 tablets, a phone, and a PC without any access problems. I have changed the default password to NOT be raspberrry. This is normal.
Since it was stable, I defined a second WiFi network to function with my cellphone as the internet hotspot. My first trip out with the pi-star everything worked OK - up to a point. The cell-hotspot worked, connected to the pi-star - and I tested my HH with BM TG and it functioned properly. I then connected a tablet to the cell-hotspot (my cell does not permit browsing etc while functioning as a hotspot). Internet browsing worked fine. I browset to the pi-star (at 192.168.101.175) and the dashboard came up fine! So that confirmed no problems with Cell, Radio, Pi-Star functioning w/BM, WiFi SSID, Internet etc.
Now I selected ADMIN on the dashboard and I was asked for Login and Pwd - that makes sense. HOWEVER - nothing I put in will work! pi-star as ID and raspberry or the correct password - no luck with login.
My first thought was that something got corrupted. I reconfirmed all the above - then returned home. At home (automatically) the pi-star connected to the home network - worked fine and NO PASSWORD PROBLEM. The next day, I repeated the above with a different tablet with the same results.
What could possibly cause a password/ID to work fine on one WiFi but not another? NOTE This has nothing to do with the SSID/wifi, this is the ADMIN login "pi-star".
thanks,
Joe
