Nighthawk mesh Wifi 6 router MR60- Different network and password

My wife bought the Mesh wifi 6 MR60 to improve our signal in our house in August. I began set up and was unable to find the network that was named on the sticker on the device. After restarting several times and searching forums for answers I gave up and forgot about it till now. Today, it was suggested that I give it another try, again network doesn't appear and after much time of trial and error I have determined that it has a different name and password than is listed on the 2 stickers on the device.  I have reset the device several times with no change.

Of course now the free customer service help has expired so I am turning here for help. Is there a way to access this router and change the name and password?

   Do you mean the wireless-network SSID(s), or something else?

   it shouldn't take very long to switch the power on and off, and see
what appears and disappears in the list of available SSIDs on some
wireless device.

   Have you tried the obvious?:

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
"Types of logins".  Further reading might not hurt, either.
