    Reset switch at the back of the router. You will need something small like a pin to press the button.
    Hold in for 5 seconds are you wifi pass and all other settings will be back to default.

    Or connect over ethernet and log into 192.168.1.254 but maybe you can't remember the pass for that too.

    If I reset that will the default key be the password then again?

    Yes, it will be back to the password written on the router.
