What model# router do you have? 

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

You don't.

Start with the problem. You want to recover Wi-Fi password? If you can't remember it, then the choices are limited.

The easiest option is probably to use the browser graphical user interface (GUI). (The manual explains how to do that.)

Unless you changed it, and also forgot that password, the access details are on the device.

Go here in a browser:

http://routerlogin.com/index.htm

The wifi password is on the page in front of you.

Alternatively, the desktop genie for your operating system has the same details.
