High CPU usage on v18 on XG115

I upgraded an XG 115 to v18 and ever since then the CPU has been normally sitting at 75% and will occasionally get up to 85-95%.  The odd thing is there is only one person in the office.

Anyone else seeing similar issues?

    SSH into the XG and select option 5. Device Management and 3. Advanced Shell.

    then just enter command top

    example of the output:

    you should be able to see what process is causing the high cpu.

     

    cheers

    I would do this, but I can't SSH.  I'm logged in with an admin account but can't seem to find the admin password.  Can't reset it because I don't know what it is.  Lovely.
