Factory reset Netgear R6250

So I had a Netgear R6250 that already had a admin and password that I didn’t know, so I was trying to reset it but everything I tried didn’t work, I tried the 30-30-30 thing a whole bunch of times and that didn’t work, I tried the tftp thing a few different ways and that didn’t work, I tried basically all the ways other people have suggested, and non of them worked for this router. So as a last ditch effort I held down the WiFi on/off button the wps button and the reset button for awhile, like maybe 30 seconds or something, and that did the trick. Maybe all I needed to do was hold the reset button down for longer and letting it Rest for a couple of minutes after without pulling the power, but hey, at least I got it reset 😅
