Will Devices reconnect after factory reset if the default network name & password were never updated

I have an older Orbi RBR40 and have forgotten the Admin password and security questions.  The original network name and network password were never changed when originally setup.  I was going to do a factory reset on the device to reset the admin password, but was wondering if my devices (streaming devices, tablets...) would still automatically reconnect after the factory reset since the default network name and wireless password were never changed when originally setup years ago.  Does anyone know for sure, hate to do a reset if i'm going to have to reconnect all my devices all over again?

 

Thanks
