I have a concern around how to see or even update my Admin account on the router. I had issues logging in and was prompted for (2) additional security questions which I answered....but was blocked because my response was "wrong"
How do I get access to that Admin account validation to make sure it is correct or even to update it appropriately? For what it's worth, I was able to stumble across my correct password and I have access to the router once again.....thanks

If you are trying to use the "password recovery" option, there is a bug in Netgear's implementation of password recovery on some devices. You can get locked into a closed loop.
If password recovery is enabled, but you have not set the answers to the questions, it keeps sending you back to the beginning of the process. If you haven't already given the thing your personal answers, they are not in its memory and it has no way of knowing if they are correct.
If the standard factory password (password) does not work, then you will have to factory reset the thing to get back to that. Then either disable password recovery (check the manual for your device) or provide some answers to those questions.

"tied" _how_? Ethernet cable? Wireless?
> Will they reconnect or do I manually have to attach them again ??
What, exactly, does "attach them" mean to you? How did you "attach them" the first time?
If you reset the settings on the router, then you reset the wireless security settings (SSID, passphrase) on the router, and then wireless devices which use some other credentials will not be able to connect.
If you configure the wireless security settings on the router to be the same as before, then a wireless device which could connect before should be able to connect again.
