Netgear nighthawk m1 reset
I purchased a used nighthawk m1 unlocked hotspot and i do not have the admin password. If I do a reset will the router still be unlocked?
Hi tmcollins
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Some SKU's will require the unlock code again if the device is factory reset. If you purchased the unit from service provider then you may need to enter the MEP code.
