Router password reset

Question

Hi there,Does anyone know how to reset a router password? I am trying to reset but am blocked as the security validation says the security answers are not correct (which I know they are correct). Any other ideas?

If you are at the Password Recovery screen because the login password has been rejected three times in a row, then you are screwed.
A Factory Reset is the only way to regain access to the router.

I understand that you are not able to access your router due to incorrect login credentials. Unfortunately, the only way to get access to your Orbi router is to perform a factory reset.&nbsp;
