How to Change password of aircard 785
How can I change the default password for my aircard 785 hotspot?

You have to be logged in as an administrator to change them. Page 38 of the manual goes over those settings.

My AC797S will not reset by holding the power button down. I've tried everything. I bought this off a friend who moved to Chicago, and his number and social have changed. I've tried everything with that too! I have made an account on Netgear and registered the device, but I don't know the admin password to the admin account. I need to get into the account to make my mobile hotspot invisible to my neighbors, and protect my privacy. I've been on this for 4 days now. What do I do? I've already paid att for the renewal, and that was a bit pricey. I like this thing really, and I don't want to lose it by locking it up trying to guess the password.
