How do you reset Network Key? R6260
I’m trying to reset the password to my NETGEAR router and I’m not sure how.
The WiFi SSID name or the admin log in name credentials?
Just the password. I have a password on the back but it’s not working so I wanna reset it.
The WiFi SSID name password or the admin log in name credentials?
Are you able to get into the routers web page by logging into the web page using Admin and current password there?

- 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.
