I have the exact same issue, but I use admin as user name, so fine by me. It has worked for some time now, but all of a sudden I can't login?! I tried changing the password but I says login failed please use correct password blah blah? Wth is that all about?? I run iOS 9, maybe that's the problem?? And don't ask me to reset to factory, why would I want or have to do that??
besides this kind of annoying issue, I freakin love my Nigthhawk, woof!! Glad I exchanged my Asus router for this :0)
regards

Hey Cruelman,

I found that tip as I searched the Internet. Netgear doesn't have it in the documentation, but it worked for me. Then I changed the password. I recommend that if this works for you, you should change the password also. Otherwise, anyone who knows that remote login can zombiefy your modem.
