Netgear nighthawk xr500
I just bought a netgear nighthawk xr500 and every time I use the admin and password information I was given to login it says that it failed to login

the netgear devices prompt you to change the password when you first log into them. So it shouldn't be your default info.
If you dont know that password, you can try using the password recovery:
If you didn't setup password recovery, it still asks the questions but there isn't a correct response. So if you don't know the answers or didn't set them up, then you'd need to factory reset to get back in
