Very few features tie a device to an email address.
How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

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.
