Which password? Wifi? Router? Anywhere Access?
What are you trying to do?
There have been recent issues with the Nighthawk App and iOS. Maybe Netgear is trying to keep up with Apple's never ending attempts to make life interesting for users.
trying to use application in the manner it was intended. Access connected device list and run speed test at router input from modem. I know i can also domthis from router URL on browser.

I know of two "intended" ways.
Wifi connected and into the router. Or Anywhere Access and into the router.
They are different.
My router is connected to my Cox panoramic Wi-Fi modem, my computers are connected to the router through ethernet all other devices use the router as Wi-Fi signal. I am not using anywhere access this is strictly occurring while at home on the local area network, no remote access is being attempted. Problem is I can't even log on to the router through the Wi-Fi network using a night Hawk. I can't get to the router directly through a browser URL connection without any problem.

That's a big alarm signal.
A wifi modem is almost certainly a router. (It has to be to manage the wifi bit.) This means that you may well have two routers in a row. That's a bad idea.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR SupportThis arrangement could well explain what you see. Your apps expect to be able to get into the Netgear device using the usual address conversion. You have complicated the issue by using two routers that can mess up those addresses.
Tell people the exact details of that "Cox panoramic Wi-Fi modem" and you might get more detailed, and informed, advice and possible solutions.
If this is what you have:
Cox Panoramic WiFi Gateway Router | Cox Communications
then you need to fix the Double NAT issue before your apps can do their stuff. The first option would be to put the Cox thing into "bridge" (modem only) mode or to put the R7900P into wireless access point mode.
