To login you'd need the login info. Not sure if that device had a forgot password option being that old.
If you get the password wrong enough (usually 4x) it'll take you to password recovery if it has the option and if you set it up.
If you didn't set it up or it doesn't have it, you'd need to factory reset the extender. This would get you back to the default login info and you'd just need to reinstall it.
To factory reset, while its powered on, push and hold reset. It should take 7-15 seconds but can take up to 30. The lights should blink/change when you've held it long enough.
