Why My ARRIS Router is Losing Password on the Regular Basis?

I purchased Arris RT-AC68U from my friend. It was working properly for one month. But now I have to reset my router because it forgets its own password. I don't know what causes the issue, but I getting tired of having to constantly have to reset my router. I'm using Chrome that saves my password on this computer specifically. Somehow, it still does and nothing i do except doing a factory reset fixes it. I know that Arris routers have a tendency to do this, but I want to know how to fix this issue?
