    OK I screwed up. I changed some things and didn't write them down. I lost my connection and onl have the router for internet. So I hit the button on the back to reset it. Now when I go to the router(throughthe internet) it won't accept the default password or my other passwords. I tried several different ways of resetting. All attempts and it still won't let me in with the default password. I tried calling netgear and was on hold for an hour. Please help :(

    Reinstall the drivers for it. When you reset it hold the reset button for 1 + minute make sure that the power is on to the router. Also remove all the wireless networks from windows settings that way windows will be forced to find it again. Good Luck

    Thanks for the help folks. My hard line was not working properly and I was logging on through another wireless; which, of course, would not allow me to access my router.
