ORBI ADMIN PASSWORD

Right from the box, I am trying to setup my Netgear Orbi router and I used the Orbi app to assist me. I am connected but the app requires me to login using "admin" and it says the default password is password. When I type in "password" it says Login failed.! It will not let me change admin. If I select "Forgot Password" it brings me to a page that says No such file or directory.

    This video on using the Orbi app shows the user first loggin in with their Netgear community account credentials (email address and password).  i.e. what you used to access this forum.

    It sort of glosses over using "admin" and "password" later to change the router admin credentials.

     

    Can you try to follow the video?
