Reset Password on my Router WNR3500L
I reset my password on the router. 5 minutes later i tried to access and it says my password is incorrect. It will not accept the old or new passwords. How do i reset it again? I have the disc if needed.
There's a small hole in the back of the router right above the USB port. You insert a paperclip into that hole for 5 seconds to reset the router. You then go through the setup procedure again.

If you happen to have a WNR3500Lv2, the picture is page 10 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNR3500LV2/WNR3500Lv2_UM_8Sep11.pdf
