what is the model #?
Most netgear routers default to a username of "admin" and password is either " admin ", "password" or it is just blank. Those are the defaults unless someone changed it.
If you cant get in you can hold down the reset button on the back for 30 seconds (while it is plugged into power) and that will set it back to factory default settings then one of the above should work.
If this was a help please give me 4 thumbs up as I am trying to build up my rep on this site!
Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.if there is a small hole in the front or back of the router push a hair pin in to reset to factory settingsHope this helpsdon't forget to vote

Restore Factory Default Settings
When you restore factory default settings to the base station, you clear your Internet connection settings and any
special base station configurations that you have established. After the restore is complete, you will need to
reconfigure your base station settings or restore these settings from a backup file.
You should restore the original factory default settings only under the following circumstances:
O You are experiencing serious problems with your base station, and resetting the base station does not fix
the problem.
O You cannot remember your base station password. In this situation, you must restore the factory default settings
by using the Restore button on the base station, and then use the default password admin to log on to the Base
Station Management Tool.
To restore factory default settings
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management.
2. On the Management menu, click Back Up and Restore Settings.
3. Under Restore factory default settings, click Restore Factory Default Settings. While the original factory
default settings are being restored to the base station, the Power light on the base station turns orange. When
the light is solid green, the settings have been restored.
If you want to open the Base Station Management Tool after the settings have been restored, type admin as the
password on the Logon page. Do not attempt to log on to the base station until the settings are restored and the
Power light on the base station is solid green.
After you restore the factory default settings to the base station, you should navigate to each page of the Base
Station Management Tool and reestablish the network settings you want, or restore the base station settings by
using a backup file. For information about creating a backup file of your settings, see the following section.
Be sure to establish your unique base station password as soon as possible after restoring the factory default
settings to prevent unauthorized users from logging on. For more information, see “Change the Base Station
Password.”

The default username and password for the Netgear DG834G router is:
username: admin password: password
If that does not work (i.e., the default password has been changed), then the only way for you to log into the router is to restore the router back to its default factory settings. Then you will be able to use the default username and password above.
To restore the router's factory default settings, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. 1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds). 2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
