To set up password recovery:
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router’s network.
Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
Select ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password.
The Set Password screen displays.
Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.
Select two security questions and provide answers to them.
Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved.
Have you walked thru the setup wizard on the MR? Might need to do this with a wired PC and web browser.
Wire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in for 15 seconds then let go. Power OFF the ISP modem for 30 seconds than back on. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate on top of the RBR, then log in to orbilogin.com using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.

Thanks for your reply.
But the problem is that every time that I go to that link it asks me to reset the password.
It doesn't matter if I have just reseted the password 5 minutes ago, the next time I try to log into the router it will asks me to reset the password again...
I tried once the reset but not to factory.
Will try that as soon as I get back home.
Best Regardws,

Hello
I have reseted it and did the walkthrough all again and I'm having the same error.
Once that I have configured it, if I try to get into the router again, it will ask me to reset the password everytime.
