DESPERATE! NO WIFI because I Mistakenly changed routerlogin.net password and can't log in
Subject says it all. How do I get out of this vicious circle? I STUPIDLY changed the password and now don't have wifi because I can't log in. Can't even fix this by using my iphone hotspot. Previously cleared cache and data according to Netgear instructions; didn't work.

Did you try recoverying the password using password recovery?
If that didn't work, you can always factory reset by pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds.
Thank you. I can't access the router admin panel because I can't access wifi; can't even do it via my iphone's hotspot. I did the reset, and the window popped up asking for a password, but the one I entered apparently didn't work.
UPDATE: after going around many times with router restart, etc., I finally was able to access wifi again and fix my problem.
