Password reset or retrevial

Question

I moved into a new, larger home and my wifi through out the house sucks. I found this old router when unpacking but cannot remember the password.

I have searched on youtube but can't find the ACTUAL website to goto to reset without being sent to some nighthawk thing. I know my router is old but can it be reset and how?

The model is N300 wnr2000 v3...wont find in the above

&gt; I have searched on youtube [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For _what_?&nbsp; Did you try anything simple, like, say, a simple Websearch for terms like, say, "netgear lost password"?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here's another radical concept:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and lookfor Documentation.&nbsp; Get the Setup Manual (at least).&nbsp; Read.&nbsp; Look for"Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings".&nbsp; It's notcomplicated.

Thank you.Will be the first and last time I use the "community" as a resource, since smartass responses seem to be the go-to.
