WnR1000 I forgot my password and I need to connect to new iPhone
I don't remember my password. When I use default one, it just asks for PW again. I want to put my new iPhone on Wifi. How can I retrieve my password? Thanks!
I assume that you mean wifi password rather than the one needed to get in to configure the WnR1000.
When faced with those "forgot my password" issues, the only solution is usually to reset the thing back to the factory defaults.
There will be instructions on how to do that in the manual.

You were absolutely correct. The only thing that finally worked was to reset the router back to factory setting. Thanks!

WNR1000-2VCNAS | Product | Support | NETGEAR
Or maybe here, depending on your exact version of this model:
WNR1000v1 | Product | Support | NETGEAR
As well as the manuals you will find all sorts of goodies that can make it easier to deal with problems.
Good luck, you may need it.
