Just the password. I have a password on the back but it’s not working so I wanna reset it.

Are you able to get into the routers web page by logging into the web page using Admin and current password there?&nbsp;

I haven’t tried that no. Im not sure where that even is. I feel a little lost. Is it the NETGEAR home page?

If you cant' get logged into the router web page, then wire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in for 10 seconds then let go. Then log in to routerlogin.com or 192.168.1.1 using a wired PC and web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. Be sure write down all important information for safe keeping later on.https://kb.netgear.com/9665/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-NETGEAR-routerhttps://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface
