How do I find the WPA for my Airport Extreme?

How do find the WPA for Airport Extreme?

It asks for my SSID,
SSID is a fancy term for the actual name of a wireless network. So, you have two basic settings for  a wireless network:
1) The actual Name of the network, or SSID. You set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
2) The Password of the wireless network. You also set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
I know the password, but it has two capitalized letters and in the Sony set up I can't find a way to get caps, just lower case
Then it would be a good idea to change the wireless network password to all lower case letters to allow things to match up.
It is also a good idea to keep the name of the wireless network....or SSID....simple.
Use only normal letters and numbers.....with no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc. 
Keep the wireless network name short.....no more than 20 characters with no blank spaces in the name. Mine is twndb for example.
Same general guidelines for the wireless network password, except the password must have at least 8 characters.

    I have had an airport extreme for a number of years. Originaly it was set up buy the company I bought it from. However recently I have had some problems with my airport extreme and would like to upgrde the firmware, but it keeps asking for a password of which I have no knowledge of. My question is how do I get this pass word or how can I upgrade the firmware

  • How do I find the Client ID with Airport Extreme?

    Cant find the Manual Setup feature in the airport utility.

    The Manual Setup feature....and a lot of other features..... were dropped when Apple went to Lion 10.7.4.
    The best that you can do is open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Extrme icon to get some basic info. Click Edit in the box to go deeper into the application.
    If you are still using Lion 10.7.4, you can install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion and keep it along with AirPort Utility 6.x on your Mac. Use the one that you want.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion unless you employ some unofficial workarounds.

    Now double click that keychain then select the Attributes tab.

    Now open AirPort Utility located in the same Utilities folder. Select the base stattion on the left then click Manual Setup.
    Select AirPort from the menu at the top of that window then select the Base Station tab.
    Type in the correct password then select:  Remember this password in my keychain then click Update.

  • How do i find the url for my iMac

    How di I find the URL for my iMac?

    Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
    Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).

    How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
