Check your manual or the web site for your router's resetting procedure. Even though you can change/set/reset your username/password through the web browser interface, there most likely is a way to manually reset your router. Your username, password and configuration information is just saved in flash memory within your router. I havn't used the Netgear routers myself but on the SMC routers there is a little button on the back of the router to reset it. After that, all you have to do is re-enter the configuration information.
