Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk MESH products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH MESH products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Same story: extender was working perfectly, received new router from ISP, connected extender to WiFi, green router light, extender network showing on devices but every time I try to login it says 'incorrect password'. Devices are MS Surface (Windows) laptop, MacBook and Android phone. Because I can't log in to the extender network, I can't access the extender online. Yes I'm definitely using the right password. Yes I tried factory reset. Please help?

I'm not sure it is a Nighthawk product? It's just that when I added the model I only got 3 options below that, all of which were Nighthawk..? But I may just not realise that NX2700 is Nighthawk..?

There is a specific forum for ALL extenders, even NH model Extenders. NX2700 is not a valid model #. EX2700 is.

There's a bug on the forum system then, because I don't get any option when I click Start a new discussion'. If I go from the homepage, a list briefly appears but then disappears immediately as a form for posting comes up with only Nighthawk router topics available.
