Range extender lost password EX6100v2
I must be really stupid. I am evidently the only user of the EX6100v2 to ever lose and be uable to recover the password. BECAUSE THERE ISNT A DAMN WORD ANYWHERE ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB ABOUT IT. ...
Well, nowhere on the world wide web would include Netgear Support, which OF COURSE I searched thoroughly. Nothing. And of course I looked at the label. No default password given. I go to user communities (typically more like useless communities) as a very last resort.
I appreciate you taking ther time to offer your input, I really do. But I have done evrything you suggested. All of the documentation (manual, quick start guide) say ya gotta log in WITH THE PASSWORD.

Something tells me that you are asking the wrong questions.
Tell us what you want to do. And don't say "find the password".
You have an EX6100v2. (Clearly, your searching didn't find the right place to ask for help with it. An easy mistake given the messy organisation of this place.) What are you trying to do with it?
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities
You can help people to help you by providing the information suggested in this forum's header:
Subject (Include model number and brief summary)
Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)
They are there for a good reason.
In your case, an extender does what it says, extends Wi-Fi on your network. A part of the "environment where relevant" is what you are trying to connect to.
