Admin password for R6900
Fortunately, or unfortunately, my admin password is stored by Firefox, but is dotted out. Since there is no option to see what it is, and I don't, after all, have it stored anywhere, is there some way to see what it is from the login? I thought I had it stored, and used the stored password in my tablet, but that doesn't turn out to be correct.

FF should offer a little EYE button next the the dotted PW to reveal what the PW is...Other browsers have this feature.
Try the recovery page on the router after incorrectly entering in the pw. This should appear after 3 attempts.
If you can get firefox to display it, you can try password recovery.
If you didn't set it up (or don't know the answers), then you'd need to factory reset to get back in.
Keep in mind, even if you didn't setup password recovery, it'll still ask you the questions but there isn't a correct response.
So if it doesn't work, it might not have been setup.
