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

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 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.
