    Reset what? Registered for what?

     

    Very few features tie a device to an email address.

     

    How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Look for the model number on the label on the device.

    Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

    Check the section in the manual about resetting the device.

    Which security settings? Here too, there aren't many settings, if any, that tie security to an email address. But without knowing which Orbi device is involved, we are all left guessing.

     

    Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
