you want to change the password for the wifi or to log into the router?
you could try looking at the manual for help with that.
The manuals for those old things are delightful. More technical documentation than more recent user manuals, but it does answer the questions.
The router is truly ancient. From 2003.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
The wifi is also not be up to much. It does not support 5 GHz wifi.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.
