You create this password the first time you set up the router. If you never changed it, factory-reset and set a new one.
This WiFi 6 Nighthawk forces you to choose your own admin password at setup — there is no admin/password out of the box. A factory reset is the only way back in if you forget it.
Factory reset
The RAX43 requires you to create an admin password during first-time setup. To regain access, power the router on, hold the recessed Reset button on the rear with a paperclip for about 7 seconds until the Power LED blinks, then after it reboots visit http://routerlogin.net (192.168.1.1) and set a new admin password.
