NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery when you change the password
for the router

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.
