LB1120 default password recovery

[CalCrashlow]

Tried connecting to my LB1120 (which I had not used in almost a year). For some reason, it wasn't assigning an IP address to my laptop's interface. After consulting this article, I reset the device. Great, now I'm getting an address and can access the managment interface.

But, I can't log in.

Turns out, the device's default password isn't "password", as the article states. It's on the label of the device, which I had completely forgotten about. Only problem is that the label is missing, with only some sticky residue in its place. I have to assume it was thrown away and it's lost forever. Is my device now just a paperweight?

In any case, you may want to update your KB.

Hi @CalCrashlow

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

On the bottom panel of the device, it has the sticker label that shows the following information: 

- Serial Number (S/N)

- Device SKU

- MAC address

- IMEI

- Default access

- Password

What is the exact message when you use "password" as password?
