The default password for the router's Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.

then you later forget the new password, you will have to reset the router back to the
factory defaults, and log in using the default password of password. This means you
will have to re-enter all the router configuration settings. For information about how
to back up your settings, see
page 6-8.
