factory reset R6900v2

After you do a factory reset, how difficult is it to re-configure your system and password changes?  Does the admin password default back to the factory setting password?

    It should go back to the default login/password. 

    The ease of setup is more about how much you changed or want to change. 

    I change my router roughly once a month and can take from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on what I'm doing/setting up.

      Thank you
      I didn't make any changes, hopefully I can get in and set new passwords and update the firmware. I have not done a n y updates since I first purchased the unit.
