what can you do if you forget your network password??? null

Use a small pen to press the RESET button, located on the back of the router. You will need it powered up and you will need to hold the reset button on for 10 to 20 seconds. The lights on the front will change to yellow and begin flashing. When this happens, you can release the button and follow the instructions on initial setup.

Connect your computer to the router with an ethernet cable. Then go to www.routerlogin.net the user name is admin and the passcode is simply passcode. Here you can change your passcode. But know that your router came with a passcode assigned to the serial, for security it's best to use that one. Look on the bottom of your router you will see the passcode there. Or you can reset it using the site I provided. Good luck.

You can reset the password, the handbook shows how to accomplish this situation. Also while setup you can store your pass word on netgear site while registering the router. You might have to reconfigure the network again in worst case scenario but no need to buy a new router, your investment will be safe.

The device has a "quick connect" button that you can push to allow a new device to find out all the permissions it needs to connect to the network. If your computer / device doesn't have this option, you will need to get into the routers configuration files to get / set a password. Details on how to do this are on the manufacturers website, (you will just need the model number written on the back of the device.) http://netgear.com If you do not know the password to enter the configuration file, there is a "reset" button on the device that will return it to its original default configuration. This would allow you to use the default password to get into the router configuration, and set a network password again. Be aware that hitting the reset button would require you to again make any and all changes that you have already made while setting up the device - if you are not comfortable doing that, you may want to ask for assistance in performing this task.

push reset button on back and new password is "password"

The factory set password is on a sticker on the router. If you changed it from that, try their email support for help.

You can email them they keep it for you on file

If this is a newer model, the default SID and password are right on the back of the actual router. If you changed the password or are using an older model, just reset to factory settings and access through your browser. Just type in the IP Address of 192.168.0.1

There should be a reset button on your router that will reset it to the factory SSID and password.

This isn't going to be a perfect answer. First of all, whenever I buy a piece of equipment, I set up a file that has all the paperwork, including things like the password. When and if that doesn't occur, I would call the Geek Squad...I'm betting that if they were given the serial number they'd be able to help...although you may have to pay for services unless you already have a contract with them. They're worth their weight in gold for me...helping with computer issues and performance issues on the various pieces of equipment I've purchased from them. They are one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Best Buy!
