netgear suppor is worthless!!! I hope you can help

Ok, so netgear suppor is Fking worhless, making me reach out to the 'community', so I hope you can all help!

I'm trying to retreive the admin password for my R700 router, but the www.routerlogin.net site is messed up. I follow the directions and go to the site. I select cancel as instructed. However, once I enter the serial number into the field, there is no 'continue' 'button'. I've attached photos. I am using chrome also as instructed.

Try looking up in the support pages the model of your router. Use the documentation/manual to see how to reset to manufacturer specs. Pushing and holding a button for 3 or more seconds should take care of that reset.

I have seen reports of that before. If you didn't set up password recovery, but haven't turned it off, then there's a bug that leaves you in a closed loop.

The only solution is a factory reset, use the default password and reconfigure the thing from scratch.

Then either set up password recovery, or disable it completely.
