The password is only for configuring your router.  It is either blank or 
will be set to a manufacturer default one at build time.  Check your manual.

You don't need that password in order to ftp between two boxes on your 
LAN.  However if the box to which you wish to transfer your net drivers 
doesn't yet have a working network card, FTP might be a problem!
Pretty well all Linux boxes will recognise a variety of floppy formats so 
pick one.  If you make the format VFAT or MSDOS, then Windows will also 
recognise the floppy which may be useful sometimes.  VFAT will also allow 
long filenames on a MS compatible floppy.
