HELP: Security Key and Passphase

Im trying to connect my router to a laptop that i got for christmas, but it keeps asking for the security key or passphrase. I know neither...can anyone help me find where i can retrieve these keys...thanks in advance for your help

Hi, the passphrase can be retrieve in the set-up page of the router. Follow this steps below:
>Go to the main PC  in the address bar type:192.168.1.1
>Type password: admin , no username 
>in the set-up page: click wireless tab then wireless security
>take note of the wpa pre shared key- is the passphrase/security key that your looking for
(Mod note: Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

  • Printer does not retain network security key , after I log off and log back on .

    I have a HP Photosmart , eprint wireless printer. For some unknown reason, everytime I shut down my laptop and then restart it. My printer does not remember my  Network Security Key, and I have to put it back in on the printer keypad. This is not only slow, but a real pain ! How can I get the printer to store my security settings permanently ? Thanks !

    What operating system does the computer use?
    What model is the printer?
    What brand/model is the router?
    Is WEP or WPA being used?

  • Ipod billing screen wont take valid security key?

    Alright, so my credit card time expired for apple. So I go in a select a new date for it to expire the next time. But when I put in the security key for my card it keeps saying invalid key.(note this is on my ipod touch). The problem is, the key I have IS valid. So I went into my apple account(on the apple site) and put in the key, it takes it and everything. When I use my ipod and go to download music, applications, or updates it tells me I have to sign in. So I do, but than it takes me into a screen with my billing info asking for the security key and to set a new experation date. Again. I did all it asked for, hit done, selected a county, but it sends me back to the screen once again saying the key is invalid. The apple site will take they key and say its valid, but on my ipod it says its invalid... So I tried going in and re-entering my credit card info and etc.on the site and it worked, for the site anyways, not the ipod. So basically my problem here is: Itouch billing info screen wont take valid security key.
    Ive tried re-entering my info, making sure the adresses and everyting are the same, but nothing seems to work and I cant download anything to my ipod until this works. Please help!
    NOTE: Please dont send me a link to the part of the apple site telling me to redo my info, like I said, I already tried that.

    I am having the same exact problem. It's like I am not putting the right information, but I have quadruple checked several times. It asks for me to put in a a new security code then it takes me to city/county and it only has one option(which is the right one. I don't understand what is happening...I mean we have 3 people who have the same problem..is there an answer to this?

  • Where can i find security key

    im trying to connect my pc to my network with airport extreme and is asking for a security key and icant find it

    Security key is your normal wireless network password.
    There is a very long 64 digit code which is generated when you enter your password, but this is rarely needed...and rarely helps.  You probably do not have room to enter this in the password area as well.
    If you want to try this...I doubt that it will help...post back to tell us what operating system you  are using on the computer that is is used to configure your AirPort Extreme router.

  • Security Key Issues

    I just got this router from a pawn shop and It seems to be picking it up but its asking for a security key and i dont know it what can i do or need to do thanks

    Hi Ladyj09,
    Since you do not know the password and you cannot connect wirelessly, we need to temporarily connect your computer to the router via cable to check the settings.
    Is there a way to possibly do that?

  • What is a security key

    What is a security key?  How do I know what my security key is??

    If you are referring to a WiFi "security key", and if you are using a Comcast supplied gateway device, and if it hasn't been changed from its default value, it is on a label on the bottom. It's called the "Network Key" on that label.

  • I'm in Afghanistan with limited internet options. I have a wifi service plan I am signed up for however, a log in and password are required via browser log in, not a security key attached to the wifi. Please help...

    I'm in Afghanistan with limited internet options. I have a wifi service plan I am signed up for however, a log in and password are required via browser log in, not a security key attached to the wifi (like a hotel). Please help...

    the appletv will not be able to work on it's own
    you can use a computer or iphone acting the role of hotspot login using it's browser and getting internet access and then sharing it with the appletv
    so the appletv sees it as a wifi router it connects to

  • Client Security Solution And System Key Recovery

    Hey,
    I have an IBM ThinkPad T40 2373-82M Laptop. Everytime Windows starts up Client Security Solution displays a box which is prompting me to enter a password of some sort for authentication. It indicates at the top of the window that the reason for authentication is 'System Key Recovery'. If I click the 'OK' button it brings up another window indicating that authentication has failed and that the security key could not be recovered. I do not recall ever entering a password in the Client Security Soultion programme or anywhere else on my laptop. I am not the first owner of this laptop and I am wondering if the previous owner may still have his/her password in the system? Is there any methid for which I could reset/restore these key's?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ash

    Thanks for the reply.
    I must say I have read various issues on the web regarding this particular software buddled with Lenovo T series and although I will be uninstalling it I do not believe there is any support on this whatsoever. Too bad cause I did want to use it ...

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

  • WLSE 2.9 and WDS AP's stuck in "Security Keys Setup"

    Hey all,
    I had to rebuild a WLSE, did a restore from a 2.9 CD. Restore went great, rediscovered all the devices. I am not however getting any rogue or adhoc detection.
    I've found that all the WDS servers are stuck in "Security Key Setup". I've tried rebooting all the WDS servers, even the WLSE several times.
    I believe that there must be some kind of key mismatch now between the WDS servers and the WLSE.
    The usernames and passwords without a doubt match. It is however possible that during the rebuild setup of the WLSE that not all the same information was entered, ie domain name etc.
    Does anyone know how to flush the AP's to try and negotiate a new key with the WLSE appliance?
    I've tried "clear wlccp nm" and "clear wlccp ap"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Brian

    Hey all,
    Just an update for everyone.
    "Security Key Setup" is a good thing, it means the WDS's have registered with the WLSE, so I was barking up the wrong tree there. I thought it meant it was trying to establish the keys.
    After some more research I found my problem. Radio Monitoring was not enabled on the WLSE. I reconfigured it and everything is working great now.
    Hope this helps someone.
    Take care,
    -Brian

  • During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?

    During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?

    Your model MB528LL ipod is a 2G and can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. many apps now require 4.3 or later.
    You said "will not use the WiFi connection that I have looged on to it continues to tell me that it can't use anything without a secure connection."
    Just what are you doing when you get that message and what is the exact wording of the error message?

  • I need help changing the security key for WRT54G2 1.5

    I already know the security key on my network, I just need to change it.  I don't have 'cisco connect'. I've tried the web based method with the 192.168.1.1 IP and using 'admin' for the password, but that gives me a '401 Not Authorized' error.  I've tried using my own security key instead of 'admin' and that doesn't work either.   How do I change this.  I tried to use the Linsky's knowledgebase and that didn't help. Live Chat won't help unless I'm willing to sign-up for some paid service plan, and there is no way I'm doing that.  I've never heard of a company charging their customers just to explain how to do something. All I have is a simple question about how to change the network security key when I already know what it is and there is no problem with the connection. Can anyone help me.  PLEASE.

    If admin didn’t work, it’s possible that you might have setup a different password to login to the setup of the router when you initially set it up. Since admin and your security key didn’t work when you tried accessing your router page, the other option for you then is to reset the router. Push and hold the reset button on the router using a pin or a paper clip for 30 seconds and unplug the power cord for another 30 seconds. Once the power light goes solid, you may start reconfiguring the settings of the router. For instructions, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection. Once you establish the wired internet connection, you may then start reconfiguring the wireless settings. Go to the Wireless tab: set the wireless configuration to manual; set a network name; then save the settings. Once saved, click on Wireless Security subtab:  set the security mode to WPA2 Personal and enter a new security key on the passphrase bar.

  • BTOES Security Key Help!

    I recently re-installed my BToes Dongle Software and suddenly when I tried to get the security key from MSI Website (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/communication/cmu/pro_cmu_registry.php ),  I keep on getting this message:
    Dear customer:
    According to the BD address, your device is not from MSI.
    Please kindly double confirm and retry it.
    Regards,
    MicroStar
    I emailed tech support buy their response was to get the security key from Widcomm (Broadcom) website.  They said Widcomm suddenly shutdown the registry web without notice.  So how can I get it from widcomm if they shutdown the registry website? Any help is highly appreciated!
    Regards,

    Hi ,
    I have the same problems as you do.
    Can't MSI do something about it ?
    I send mails over and over and i just get this first reaction by an automated
    process telling me how to get the adress .
    I know very well what my address is , since i recorded it on the device itself.
    And i do know how to use this stupid programs to find it.
    When i reinstalled windows i lost a file with the code in it, no problem i thought... Just go to website and fill in the boxes...
    I typed the address in the website u mentioned on msi-site and the one that is not working from widdcom and it just telling me that it is not a MSI produkt..
    Now do we need to come to ur place and show the mofo bluetooth device with huge letters on it saying MSI !!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!
    Is this the way u deal with ur customers ?
    As i am entitled to have a good working device, i like to sue the MSI company, who's with me ?  
    Can anyone tell me if this support is always like this ?
    Where can i send a bill for my waste hours ?
    HOW do i get the security-code ??
    Update: since installing driver for sp2 and bluetooth software 1.4.3 it did find the dongle and adress. Now after a few reboots it wont find the device either, while it is installed and working oke on windowssoftware builtin the XP sp2.
    So how am i going to find the address now ? Well i got it written lucky me..
    now all i need is this security code.....
    I was planning on using software 1.3.1 coz it dont ask for a key. Does this work in windows xp sp2 and do i need the new driver ?
    greets

  • I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions and I don't believe I ever answered any security questions when I created my Apple ID for Itunes.  Someone kindly sent me Apple support link but to no avail!  Please Help me!

    I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!!  I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!! 
    The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
    I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
    Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online???   Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear.  In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
    Many thanks

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
