NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834M Reference Manual
Changing the Administrator Password
Tip: Before changing the router password, use the router backup utility to save your configuration settings. If after changing the password, you forget the new password you assigned, you will have to reset the router back to the factory defaults to be able to log in using the default password of password. This means you will have to restore all the router configuration settings. If you ever have to reset the router back to the factory defaults, you can restore your settings from the backup.
The default password for the router’s Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the menu shown below.
