Are you using a tablet connected to the Pixhawk with the 3DR radio as well as the RC controller? It will tell you why it wont arm. Sometimes I forget to hit the safety switch. It wont arm if that switch is not set. Blinks red on the backend of Iris.

Cynthia- the controller and solo will update their software in sequence so you have to follow the update process religiously on the tablet you are using with Solo. Try using the ORIGINAL password that came with the unit to see if it will let you in. (the Solo net password you used gets overwritten during the initial update process...or so it did with mine.
Alternatively, you can log into the Solo from a Windows or Mac PC using programs like WinSCP...but then you'll need to study the Solo developer pages and this is not a trivial thing. Its Linux country, home of the command line interface.
If you cannot get back into the "Solo net", and a reset doesn't work, then open a trouble ticket with 3DR and they'll walk you through your problem.

OK- What alarms is MP enunciating? In the Tower app, you will get the error announced for example that is preventing arming etc. Go back to the 3DR-supplied checklist for arming and flying the Iris and follow each step. I suspect your safety switch has not been depressed. See attached.
Place the RC xmitter switches to "up" in relation to the bottom of the xmitter. Land mode is off, flight mode to "stabilize", RTL to off.
