ac1200 Cable Model Router Default password

Please help me change the default password.    It is not secure; Netgear refused to

help me as my device is over 1 year old.    I have the admin password but cannot

be prompted to change the DEFAULT PASSWORD.

       Not a model number.  Look for "Model" on the product label.  "Modem
    Router"?

       Not a "Cable Model [or Modem] Router".  Look for "Model" on the
    product label.

       _Which_ "the default password"?

     

       Here's a radical concept which works for some people:

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for "Types of Logins" and "Specify Basic WiFi Settings".  Further
    reading might not hurt, either.
