Try the recovery method on the CAX30s web page.
IF this doesn't work out, you'll need to factory reset the CAX and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.

Are you just trying to get the wifi password?
Or the password to log into the router using its gui?
If its just the wifi password, you can log into the router and view/change it.
If you're not able to get in but have a android phone thats on your wifi, you can even share your wifi password info if you'd like.
