How do I know if my password is set and working?

I know this seems like a stupid question but I just had a very hard time getting my new Airport Xtreme to work. After being on the phone with my cable internet provider and Apple for almost two hours it works now, but I'm not sure if my password that I set to join the network is still working. When I turn on my Macbook Pro the airport signal automatically is full and doesn't ask me for password, does that mean my neighbors can get on too or is that normal?
If that means the password is not set, how do I set it, and will it reset the Xtreme base (hopefully not because I don't want be on the phone for two hours again)
thanks

Start your Airport Admin Utility and connect with
your AEBS, then select "Change Wireless Security"
Does it say something other than "Not Enabled" under
wireless security? If so, you are running encrypted,
if not, post back and let us know.

When I open the Airport Admin Utility and click Change Wireless Security, it says WEP in Wireless Security option, does that mean the password and name I chose in the setup process is working then? I didn't see "Not Enabled".
I was just curious if it was working because when I turn on my computer, the internet is on, I don't have to choose to join my network or type in my password. When it said "remember password in Keychain" does that mean only my computer doesn't need to type in my password every time I turn on my computer to connect to the internet?
Thank you for your help!

  • How do I know WinRM uses Kerberos for authentication, and does not fall-back to NTLM?

    Hi,
    How do I know WinRM uses Kerberos for authentication, and does not fall-back to NTLM?
    /SaiTech

    Hi SaiTech,
    Kerberos will be selected by default in an AD domain, The default (assuming the client is in a domain, and is not connecting to itself via 127.0.0.1 or ::1 addresses) is to use Kerberos authentication, and not to fall back to NTLM.
    Please also Note that you may have to take some other steps as well to get non-Kerberos authentication working.  Specifically, you'd have to set up an HTTPS listener on the remote host, or modify the client's TrustedHosts list.
    Refer to:
    WINRM kerberos & Negotiate
    Authentication for Remote Connections
    In addition, you can also use Network Monitor to check the authentication method.
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

    You can log in to Adobe.com with your credentials and you can change your region or country from the option "Change Region" at the bottom left of the page .
    From there you can change your region and select the preferred one and make the payments.
    Hope this will work .

  • How do I know if my L7600 is wireless and if so how to set it up?

    About 2 years ago I purchased an OfficeJet Pro L7600 printer and have it wired to my PC.  I recently bought a router and a laptop and want to be able to print wirelessly to the printer and still have it wired to the PC. 
    I don't know if my printer is wireless.  I tried to follow the manual and went to "setup" on the printer and then "network."  It has a "view network setting" and "restore network defaults" but no set up wizard.
    Can you help?
    Thanks in advance.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well, your printer has wired network capability, but not wireless.   Therefore, no Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Why do you want it still (USB) wired to the PC?  The router does not care how devices (computers or printers or whatever) are attached to it - wired or wireless - they can all talk to each other with no problems.
    So, unplug the USB cord, plug in an Ethernet cable between your printer and router and then re-run the HP install software, this time choosing "Network Connection".

  • How do I know if my Mac Book Pro and iMac support Windows 7 64 bit

    How do I know if my Macbook Pro and iMac will support Windos 7 64 bit? Macbook Pro is 2.26 GHz Intel Duo Core and iMax is 3.06 GHz Intel Duo Core? I need a software application that runs only on Windows

    as i know, all the macs with intel CPU will run 64bit version of windows. so dont worry! but choosing 32 bit or 64 bit version of windows usually depends on how much ram you have unless you have to use some application that requires 64bit windows. if you have more than 3GB of ram go for 64bit.

  • HT204053 how do i know if i have my pics and contacts on my icloud?

    my phone is messed up and i have to get a new iphone but they guy from the at&t store said if i didnt have my pics and contacts saved to my icloud i would be losing everything ok my question is how do i know if i had my icloud on? i dont remember can anyone help me

    Contacts are saved in the contacts database on icloud.  If you use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com, look at the contacts page.  They should be there.  On the new iphone, in Settings>iCloud, if you sign into your account and turn on contacts, they should be synce to the device.
    pics are not kept on icloud, they should always be synced to a computer for storage and safekeeping.  You sync them either by using USB cable or using photo stream.  If you have backup turned on for icloud, then photos in the camera roll "should" be included (if you turned that on for backups), but many users have found that upon performing a restore, the pictures were not synced back.
