Locating Guest user password on C6300 wifi router

[GMAUser]

When I set up guest services on my wifi router, I thought I was being wise by adding a password.  Unfortunately, I failed to make a note of that password.  How can I find the password or reset it?

Hello @GMAUser, 

You may unplug and plug in everything and try a factory reset. The author in the post below had a similar issue. Please let me know if this solves your issue.

Thanks for the quick response.  I will try that when I can afford the down time.  I will keep you posted.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Set Up a WiFi Guest
Network" (or, simply, "guest").

   Yes, you could do that, but, unless you've lost the "admin" password
for the C6300 management web site, it would be a big waste of time and
effort.

   If all you lost was a Guest Network passphrase, then deal with that.
If you lost the "admin" password, which would stop you from doing normal
administrative tasks, then a settings reset might make some sense.  In
that case, look for "Factory Default Settings" in that User Manual.

Makes sense.  Downloaded user manual.  Will check it out.  Thanks.
