Enter VPN credentials every so seconds

I managed through Settings > General > VPN to access the Nord VPN settings and delete the VPN profile. After that I started Nord VPN again and entered my VPN credentials and the VPN is up and running, as is my new iphone.

I don't have the phone connected to anything.

I'm doing the setup using a backup from another iphone and that iphone have a working Nord VPN. I enter the Nord credentials and the new phone stops and thinks ... and asks for the password to the VPN.

So there are two things wrong here; 1) it's not listening to what I'm entering and 2) it's a bad programmed loop as the [Cancel] option doesn't work. (Yes, I know I have entered the wrong password but given the number of times I have tried I think I should have gotten it right at least once)

Well, I'm trying to do just that but I can't reset the phone (to start from scratch) because the blo*** VPN dialogue keeps popping up. It won't even give me time to enter my apple id password. And I don't have itunes installed on any computer.

Thanks for your support. I'm closing down now and will have a stiff drink before I go to bed. Let's see what apple support can do tomorrow.

No, my VPN and password is working on all other machines, it's the iphone that won't set up if I don't enter the password

Thanks, no luck there. I have booked a call from Apple support for tomorrow morning.

The thing that is literally driving me mad is that I cannot [Cancel] the VPN password prompt. It's a bad loop.
