Resetting Your Netgear Router Password

Resetting the password of your Netgear router is essential to ensure the security of your home network. Follow these steps to reset your Netgear router password:

2. Press and hold the reset button: Using a paperclip or a similar tool, press and hold the reset button for about 10-15 seconds.
3. Release the reset button: Once the LED lights on the router start blinking, release the reset button.
4. Access the router settings: Open a web browser and enter the default router IP address (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) in the address bar.
5. Log in with default credentials: Enter the default username and password (usually admin/admin or admin/password).
6. Create a new password: Navigate to the settings where you can change the password and set a strong, unique password for your router.
