LB1120 default password recovery

Tried connecting to my LB1120 (which I had not used in almost a year). For some reason, it wasn't assigning an IP address to my laptop's interface. After consulting this article, I reset the device. Great, now I'm getting an address and can access the managment interface.

 

But, I can't log in.

 

Turns out, the device's default password isn't "password", as the article states. It's on the label of the device, which I had completely forgotten about. Only problem is that the label is missing, with only some sticky residue in its place. I have to assume it was thrown away and it's lost forever. Is my device now just a paperweight?

 

In any case, you may want to update your KB.

    Hi CalCrashlow

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    On the bottom panel of the device, it has the sticker label that shows the following information: 

    - Serial Number (S/N)

    - Device SKU

    - MAC address

    - IMEI

    - Default access

    - Password

     

    What is the exact message when you use "password" as password? 

     

    Regards,
