Do you get any error messages? Have you tried accessing the router using the IP address of your router?
- I get message that the page cannot be opened. I am unable to attach pictures to this thread to show you.

These routers don't do "https://" from the LAN. If complaints from
your browser bother you, see:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1923685
> [...] I am unable to attach pictures to this thread to show you.Copy+paste is often easier (and more helpful) than pictures. General
advice:
"unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.When all else fails, you might try the obvious:

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Troubleshoot" and "You Cannot Log In to the Router".

https://www.routerlogin.com/Would be interesting from where this -wrong- or at least misleading information is coming from.
A possible source is the Netgear KB entry How do I recover my NETGEAR admin password using the password recovery feature? Let the community us know if you find more wrong references please.
Taking the fact that most routers (including your R6080) this article is supposed to apply to are -not- supporting https please kindly try http://www.routerlogin.net/ or http://www.routerlogin.com/ instead.
Said that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with antinode well meant advise to check the fine documentation.

Christian_R Please take care that this KB mess, count in the video referred using 10.0.0.1 IP address, and at least these two KB entries How do I recover my NETGEAR admin password using the password recovery feature? | Answer | NETGEAR Support and How do I reset the admin password on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support are fixed/merged/corrected. Thank you! It's ridiculous how careless Netgear does handle their customers...
- Thanks for the response. I did not mean to be rude to a previous response but it came across as disrespectful to me (as a novice to this). I am finding Netgear platform not easy to navigate (ie posting screenshots). Not sure why it is an issue Best.

what this "issue" might be. See "not a useful problem description

> [...]I didn't like your lack of responsiveness, either. As for being "a
novice", the less you know, the more important accurate, detailed,
precise descriptions become. (And the less value your analysis may
have.) What you did, and what happened when you did it, are what
matter. Non-descriptive conclusions like "I am finding" often convey
little or no useful information. (In this case, "no".)
