Being that this is a forum for Google Nest Wifi, I would instead assume that user Dreams23 is asking how to reset the administrative password used by the router. Can you provide an answer for that?
To administer most home routers, the local user opens a browser , e.g. https://192.168.1.1, and logs in with default credentials (or some found on a sticker on the router), such as "admin" with a password of "admin". Obviously, this is terribly insecure but pretty standard practice, and explains why the Internet is full of bot traffic attempting these default credentials daily, everywhere, seeking new victims who left the factory defaults set.
So how does a Google Nest wifi owner... 1) access the admin screen of the device in a browser without the mobile app, and 2) alter the password used for this remote, administrative interface?
For my customized network (router's IP changed to 192.168.3.1 from the default 192.168.1.1), I found the router is actually accessible via a non SSL interface at http://192.168.3.1, not HTTPS. However, there are no login fields there, just an advertisement to download the Android app. 😕
I can only "hope" that this insecure web interface (HTTP) is only accessible to other internal hosts, i.e. whose IP is 192.168.3.x.
