AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Router (R6300v2)
I was just told that my firmware needs updating. I tried to go to 192.168.1.1 to try to log in, & I used the default name of admin, but I have forgotten this password. Now, the Netgear page to reset my password (How do I reset my NETGEAR account password? | Answer | NETGEAR Support) says to click "Forgot Password?" BUT, I cannot find such a button at the page it directed me to use: Home | MyNETGEAR
So, how do I access the password reset, please, so I can update my firmware?
Thanks!

If you have forgotten the password, and have not set up password recovery, then your only option is to press the rest button on the back of the router.

The manual for your router also tells you what to do.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.Many thanks! I'll try this.
