Password Recovery

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the default
password. Then you have an easy way to 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 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.
