Trying to change Extender password

I just finished setting up my account here and it showed me the passwords on the extender, but there doesn't appear to be any way of changing them.  I can't find it anywhere on this website.  How do I change the password on the extender?

    So you got it setup and working as you wanted it? 
    If so, you can mark it solved so others aren't trying to fix it. 

    If not, let me know what issue you're running into and I'll do my best to help.

    You log into the extenders gui to change them. There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.

    The manual goes over how to do that. but you didn't tell us what device you have so its tough to link to the manual.
