Router Login
I try to log into my router and I type in the default username and password but that doesn’t work.
So I try to do password recovery but after type in the serial number it won’t recover my password. The continue button is gray and I can’t click it

Log in how? Browser? Wired ? Wifi?
There is a bug in Netgear's implementation of password recovery on some devices. You can get locked into a closed loop.
If password recovery is enabled, but you have not set the answers to the questions, it keeps sending you back to the beginning of the process because you can't answer the questions.
If the standard factory password (password) does not work, then you will have to factory reset the thing to get back to that. Then either disable password recovery (check the manual for your device) or provide some answers to those questions.
