P/W Reset Questions
Q1: What is the name of your first Netgear product? Is this a trick question? I'm sure it was not a question selected by me. Is the anser on my router somewhere?
There is no login needed after the factory reset. The set up wizard starts here immediately.
This would have been set up in the initial setup wizard when you first set up the router. You can use this question or pick from a list of questions. If you don't know what you gave for an answer then you'll need to walk thru the set up wizard again. Factory reset and set up from scratch.
But if I don't know my ID and P/W (and "admin" and "password" don't work), how do I start from scratch?
Hold down the reset button in back of the router untill the top led changes to yellowish color, then let go. Top led will blink white, then slow blink white. Log in and you'll see the set up wizard. Walk thru this.
This procedure will reset router so I can use "admin" and "password" to login?
