If you factory resets it, it'll get you back to the default login info.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds.
default login: admin
default password: password
all lower case.

In general you do not need support to change your password. The default password that results after a firmware default reset is always the same. From there you can login and change it to what you prefer.
If you would share the specific model number of your router, you will be pointed in the right direction.

The model number is C7000v2
If I understand correctly, I am supposed to do a reset, and then I will be able to change the default password?
The product was never registered so I am not able to see anything under My Netgear.
Thank you
