The password recovery feature enables you to recover the password you use to log in to the router. Otherwise, you have to reset the router to its factory default settings and log in with the default password.

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery when you change the password for the router’s user name of admin. Then you have an easy way to recover the password when 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. The screen adjusts to display security questions.
2.Select two security questions, and provide answers to them.
3.Click Apply.
When you use your browser to access the router, the login screen 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.
