Recover the local device admin password

When you use the Setup Wizard for the initial log-in process, you must both customize
the local device password and set up password recovery. If three local login failures
occur, you can try to recover the password. This recovery process is supported in the
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari browsers.
To recover your local device password:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter your local device password.
If you enter an incorrect password three times, you are prompted to enter the serial
number of the access point.
The serial number is on the access point label.
4. Enter the serial number of the access point.
5. Click the Continue button.
A window displays prompts for the answers to your security questions.
6. Enter the saved answers to your security questions.
7. Click the Continue button.
A window displays your recovered password.
