forgotten password

I have forgotten my password so how do I go about getting it back? I have a netgear model c3700 with windows 10 OS

       And a Web search for, say:
          netgear lost password
    found nothing useful?

       The usual remedy is a settings reset.  Visit
    http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
    Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Factory Default
    Settings".  Prepare to reconfigure the modem+router manually.
    (Restoring corrupt saved settings may defeat the reset.)
