Recover the admin Password
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for
the modem router user name admin. Then you can recover the password if it is forgotten.
This recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers, but
not in the Safari browser.
For information about setting up password recovery, see Set Up Password Recovery on
page 38. The following procedure works only if you did set up password recovery.
To recover your password:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. In the address field of your browser
, type www
.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Click the Cancel button.
If password recovery is enabled, you are prompted to enter the serial number of the
modem router.
The serial number is on the product label of the modem router.
