Set Password

This feature allows you to change the default password that is used to log in to the router with the user name admin.

This is not the same as changing the password for wireless access. The label on the bottom of your router shows your unique wireless network name (SSID) and password for wireless access (see Label on page 12).

To set the password for the user name admin:

1. Select Advanced > Administration > Set Password to display the following screen:

2.Type the old password, and type the new password twice in the fields on this screen.

3.If you want to be able to recover the password, select the Enable Password Recovery check box.

4.Click Apply so that your changes take effect.

Password Recovery

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for the router’s user name of admin. Then you will have an easy way to 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.

To set up password recovery:

1.Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.

2.Select two security questions, and provide answers to them.

3.Click Apply to save your changes.

When you use your browser to access the router, the login window displays. If password recovery is enabled, when you click Cancel, the password recovery process starts. You can then enter the saved answers to the security questions to recover the password.
