    login to the extender through the working ssid (the one you know). Once logged into the extender, you can change ssid's and passwords.

    mywifiext.net

    Or you can log in via a hardwired device. this bypasses needing the ssid password. You just need to know your gui login info

        hopefully you remember them. 

        The defaults are:

        login: admin

        password: password

        if you changed them and don't remember them, the only way back in is to factory reset it and start back from fresh. To do that, push the reset button (while powered on) for 7-10 seconds, until the lights change.
