unable to get into my router settings

I fixed the problem. I had an idea of just factory resetting the router and now it works. Thanks for your time plemans michaelkenward
Tried using different different browser and still doesn't work. Tried entering my default extender IP address and it displays "Took too long to respond".
the default IP address will change based on your router.
Log into your router and lookup what IP address the extender is connecting on.
Use that to try to access it.
Found my extenders IP address which took me to create an account again. Nothing happens when clicking NEXT. The photo doesn't show it but i did fill in all those boxes before clicking NEXT.
If anythings wrong it won't work and will redo the page.
So make sure you're password is compatible and so are the responses to the questions.
username use admin
Tried all the above and still doesn't work.

That looks like the system is trying to force you to set up password recovery.
I am not familiar with the EX6200, but most stuff I have played with allows you to disable that "feature".
I know that Netgear "recommends that you leave password protection on to help keep your network secure", but as the passwords is a local thing,disabling it is no great threat of attack from the outside world. A decent password usually suffices,
If you are willing to take your life in your hands, try this bit of the manual "Turn Password Protection Off and On".
I can't access password protection as i need to log into netgear to change it.
