Can't get past the register page

Model R7450. Bought the router new about a year and half ago. Had to do a reset because WiFi wouldn't come on. Now I can't re register something I bought and payed for and it won't get on the net without going through with their stupid registration. I put in my email which it recognized but the password is wrong. Tried doing a password reset and it says something about captcha. And that is as far as it will get. Is there anyway I can bypass their " website registration" so I can use something I payed for without them knowing what kind of underwear I have on? If not, can anyone recommend a good router company that doesn't require you to log into their website for something you payed for? In the old days I put the ip addresses in and set security and was then able to use my equipment.
