Resetting Admin Password without security questions for ORbi Router RBR50

HELP!  My spouse set-up the security questions for our admin account for our Orbi Router RBR50 and did not write them down and cannot remember them.  I need to reset them and are looking for help!  Thanks.

  • Wire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in for 15 seconds then let go. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate on top of the RBR, then log in to orbilogin.com using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.

Then log in to routerlogin.com or 192.168.1.1 using a wired PC and web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. Be sure write down all important information for safe keeping later on.
