Nighthawk X6 R8000 reset

Hey, I really don´t understand how I can reset my router. I want to sell it, but I don´t remember the answer for security questions and neither do I remember the password I made for admin login.

    Hi NikitaAA1302

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    Press and hold the reset button on the back of the router until the power led starts blinking orange. You should notice a click by pressing the reset button. This process will erase all the current settings of the router.
