Router

Hi, the question I have is that I have bought my router off Amazon - someone has previously changed the admin password. So I am just wondering if there is a way to factory reset to regain the original password or to reset without going through security questions?

    Yes you can reset it back to factory default. Just press the reset button with a paper clip for 30 seconds while its powered up and it will go back to factory default.

      Will this also reset the admin password as the problem I am having is that the old user has changed the admin password and I can’t accesvtge net gear login online?
