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

To set the password for the user name admin:
1. Select Advanced >
Administration > Set Password.
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.

Password Recovery
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for
the router’s user name of admin. Then if you forget the password, you can recover it. 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.
