Forgot network Password

Other people want to join my wireless network that I set up for my Airport Express, I cannot remember the password to join the network for the life of me. Any Ideas on how to recover the password?

The simplest way would be to perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort base station. This type of reset will temporarily disable all of the base station's passwords up to five minutes. This should give you ample time to access the base station with the AirPort Utility to change it.
If you don't want to actually change the password, then you can possibly retrieve the password from the OS X Keychain, as follows:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
For the Wireless Security password:
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Double-click on your network name listing.
Click on "Show password."
Enter your Mac's administrator's password
Your wireless network's security password should now be displayed.
For the Base Station password:
In the right column look for your base station's name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort base station password."
Double-click on your base station name listing.
Click on "Show password."
Enter your Mac's administrator's password.
Your base station password should now be displayed.

    It should be in your Keychain. Find it in Keychain Access.

  • I forgot my wifi network password for iPad 2. Where do I find it? Can't seem to find it in user guide.

    Anyone know where I can find how to lookup my wifi network password in the user guide? I set it up so long ago I forgot it.

    I assume that you mean in your WiFi router user manual, because you won't find that information in the iPad manual user guide.
    See if this is of some help.

  • I forgot my wi-fi network password

    How do i find my wi-fi network password. 

    For a wifi router from your Internet provider, it's usually on a sticker on the bottom of the router.
    If you yourself purchased and set it up, you'll probably have to reset the router if you don't have a note of it.
    If a Mac has previously connected to its wifi, check Keychain Access (in the Utilities folder). Do a search for your network name there. You'll have to unlock the key with your Mac admin password.

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Hi, I forgot the password of wifi in my ipad, how can I restore it? thanks ana

    Hi, I forgot the passoword of wifi in my ipad, how can I restore it ? thanks Ana Laura

    Your wireless network password is stored in your router. It is not intended to be easily recovered, only reset and subsequently reconfigured by whomever set up your router.
    If you have a Mac that you usually use on that network, it is stored in the Mac's Keychain. I can show you how to retrieve it, using that Mac.

  • Forgotten Network Password

    Hi all , I 've installed  password for my HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw for web access.  But unfortunately i forgot it and now i  can't  access to  my printer throw web access.  Can I reset my forgotten password?  Thanks in advance. Best regards.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are looking for your network password for your HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175n printer. I am happy to look into this issue for you! Please see this guide, Find Your Wireless WEP, WPA, WPA2 Password (Windows). Under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) it mentions this: If you created your own network login password and cannot remember what it is, refer to the wireless router documentation or manufacturer for instructions on how to reset or change your password. You can change the network password from the router configuration page.
    Additionally, some wireless routers provide a 'reset' button that restores all wireless router settings to the default state, including the username and password to access the router configuration page, as well as the network name and password. Hope this is the information you are looking for, and have a great day!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”
