What says the SSID has changed? Tried different wifi clients?
Pressing the reset button means that you have set the router back to its default settings.
The default passwords are on a label on the bottom of the thing.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Router label.
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
Best way to set up a router is using a wired connection and go to http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 - there you can change virtually everything, including SSIDs and their passwords
How did the SSID07 change to SSID58? What exactly did you do for this change to occur?
