I don't know my password. I perused prior conversations herein, but nothing on "AirPort Extreme 802.11ac" - other posted Q/A related to "bg" or "n" models. HOW DO I RESET?

Which link should I tap for my Airport Extreme 802.11ac (rediculous that mine isn't listed given that it's an Apple FAQ):
1) Airport Extreme 802.11n
2) Extreme Base Station 802.11b/g
802.11n
A Soft Reset is simply a one second push on the reset button. This will provide you with 5 minutes of free access to go in and change the passwords on your AirPort Extreme.
I appreciate your effort, but still unclear so I assumed you want me to open the FAQ then follow:
Airport Extreme 802.11n (even though mine is 802.11ac).
Then follow instructions for a Soft Reset:
I got this far. Now,
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule (the network name does not change).
What??? Where is the AirPort "menu bar item" per above?
Open AirPort Utility in Applications > Utilities on a Mac using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
Not sure what the above means. We'll tackle the rest of the instructions (assuming I am in the correct FAQ) later:
There was nothing easy or intuitive about the FAQ.
1) You need to upload Airport Utility in Applications
2) You need to click on the Station picture
3) You need to click on Edit
4) You need to click on Wireless
5) You need to change the Password then click Update
The FAQ sucked. Shame on Apple.
