Can not login to netgear R7000 router after factory reset

Can not login to netgear R7000 router after factory reset.  All I get is connecting

and after 10 minute I hit cancel and it goes to Router Password Recovery. I put in serial # of router and the the continue button is greyed out!

I would like to change the password from the default for security reasons!

Is there a work around for this problem.

 I can not believe Netgear has not corrected this problem before now. Not a very good selling point for Netgear Routers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Use defaults on router label after a factory default reset. Locate a manual too everything you need is in it.

      I am using defaults on router label.

      I have a manual and am using it in the attempt to login and it appears that everything I need is not in it.

        It is possible on the reset the router's IP address has changed. Default is 192.168.1.1, try entering that into the browser.
