The username/password on the box is for gaining access to the router's admin functions - you need to use it first to gain access to the admin functions, and from there you can change the password that people on your driveway use.
Your router is probably at http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1

The default username and password for netgear routers is

Username: admin
Password: password
