What I don't know is the admin password, how to get to it or how to get logged in to the app using the admin username.

The default admin password is password.

 

That is the password that you use when you log into the device using the admin username, be it through a browser on a PC or on wifi.

 

Have you actually tried that?

 

Using the app is a multi-stage process. First you have to connect the phone to the wifi. That really has nothing to do with the app. It is just the step that you have to take to use the phone for anything.

 

The next step is to login to the Nighthawk app. This is where you use the MyNetgear account. After you have done that, the app will remember you and connect to Anywhere Access. The fact that you have used the app on an older phone again suggests that you had already set up Anywhere Access.

 

The fact that you see the "admin" prompt suggests that you have already got that far.

 

I keep saying "suggests" because you have provide very little useful detail beyond saying "it doesn't work". Unfortunately, that is of little diagnostic value.

 

If "password" does not get you in, then at some stage you must have set your own password for admin.

 

You will either have to use "password recovery" to recover the password, or you will have to reset your router to get it back to the default.

 

You haven't told us which Netgear device you are using.
