Mr1100 factory reset password not valid

I forgot the password for my router. I did a factory reset and tried using the admin password on the label under the battery and it says its invalid. How do I access the router or reset the password if I can't log in? Is there a way to have netgear reset it or look it up but my serial number?

    Wifi or admin?

     

    The manual says

     

    The default password for the admin user name is admin

     

    The usual Netgear admin password is password.
