Password Recovery

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for

the access point user name admin. Then you can recover the password if 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 System > Set Password.

2. Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.

3. Select two security questions, and provide answers to them.

4. Click Apply.

Your settings are saved.

 To recover your password:

1. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter

If this computer is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.

Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as

the subnet mask.

2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to the access point.

3. In the address field of your browser

, type http://192.168.0.233.

A login window displays.

4. Click Cancel.

If password recovery is enabled, you are prompted to answer two security questions.

5. Enter the saved answers to the security questions.
