R6300v2 Firmware updating

Netgear sends an email to update the software, I download it to my desktop and then am told to go to routerlogin.net at which point it asks me to login AGAIN, but it won't accept the netgear password.  What do they want?

    You say it asks for the password AGAIN but when is it asking the first time? 

    the default login is admin and the default password is password.   Have you tried those?
