How do I change the router's "default login credentials" on Netgear Wireless Model AC1900?

How do I change the default username & password on the Nighthawk AC1900??

Thank you...

       "AC1900" is a speed, not a model number.  Ever helpful, Netgear
    product packaging emphasizes speeds like "ACxxxx", but that's not the
    model identifier.  Look at the product label.

       Is that accurate?  Firmware version?

       Which "username & password"?  Visit http://netgear.com/support , put
    in your model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.
    Look for "Types of Logins".  Look for "Change the admin Password".
    (Netgear typically doesn't allow changing the "sdmin" user name.)
