If you don't know your current password and didn't setup (or don't know) the password recovery option, then you'd need to factory reset to get back to defaults.
to reset, push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
that'll get you back to the defaults. then just reinstall the router

As explained elsewhere, "AC1200" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label. Or, look more closely at the box.
"Netgear71" (which, I assume, was actually "NETGEAR71") is also not a model number. ("I need a new oil filter for my car. Its license plate number is ...")
_Which_ "password"?
You might save everyone a good deal of time and effort by trying this radical concept (which works for some people):
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for topics like "Types of Logins", "Basic Wireless Settings", and "Reset". Further reading might not hurt, either.
