Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for General Router products.

To set up password recovery:
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router’s network.
Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

The BASIC Home screen displays.
Select ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password.
The Set Password screen displays.
