How do I know what the wifi password is for my 4th Gen time capsule

I am only new to this time capsule thing… I am pretty savvy in things as technology goes but I just can't figure out how to get the wifi password on the 4TH GEN time capsule I have tried everything I know I was not the one to set it up and my mother let the tech do it and paid no attention to the finer details I would have. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU.

You will learn grasshopper!!
looked like I didn't even need the reset but this is great and simple way I hope other people use it!!!! Thank you again!!!! From a not as seasoned techy as you!!! I aspire to be as versed someday!!!
You must use the reset to remove the admin password if it is set.. If the tech left it as default the TC throws up an error.
It is one I choose to ignore since security on the Airport routers is pathetic anyway.
Default password is public btw.
And as long as you access via ethernet then you do not need the wireless password. But the way the utility works now is to set the password the same for both wireless and admin access. So you need to reset.
Pressing the button for 1sec is called a soft reset.
Read the apple documentation on reset. There are 3 levels of reset..
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
There is an enormous amount of info Apple have available in documents and technical notes.. and apple has the worst search engine known to man.. so use google to find it.. !!

  • I am trying to figure out what the wifi password is for the printer

Can you please help me out i  would appreciate it. Thanks also it's an android phone as i mentioned earlier (Samsung galaxy s5)

     If you are printing to your home network, this is likely the wireless password to your network - the password you use to access your router, for example. How to find your wireless network password Additional Help:Add Device to Printer See Section titled > Mobile Device / iPad gets an App >>News for Android, Samsung Galaxy Note, HP Slate SeriesWhen you see a Post that helps you,Inspires you, provides fresh insight,Or teaches you something new,Click the "Thumbs Up" on that Post. Click my Answer Accept as Solution to help others find Answers.

  • How do I know what the current version of fcpx w/o going to app store?

    How do I know what the current version of fcpx without going to the app store? I'm hoping this is obvious and easy but I can't see it yet.

    Thanks Neil, and thanks for figuring out that I wanted the general answer, not just the version right now.
    But here's the question I should have asked: How do I know when there is a new version of FCPX so I can update right away? Was there an email or alert I missed, or do I just keep checking ?

  • Does anyone know what the default font is for MacMail?

    Does anyone know what the default font is for the Mail program? My son changed my mail font and I want to change it back, but I can't remember what the original default is! Anyone? Thanks!

    I rarely use Mail (normally use Gmail in Safari) so I am 99.99% sure mine is still at the default. It is Helvetica 12.

    Apple does not sell parts. If your iPod is damaged, Apple will exchange it for their out-of-warranty exchange price. See:

  • Does anyone know what the second button is for on the logic board of an iMac G5 (PPC), 1st generation ?

    One button on the logic board of a 1st generation iMac G5 (PPC) is an alternate power button. Does anyone know what the purpose of the other button is?

    I am far from certain but I believe it is the power management unit (PMU) reset switch a/k/a Cuda switch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939
    Do not press it when the computer is on.

  • I BEG of you:  How do I replace an Airport Extreme base station with a 4th-generation Time Capsule as the base station?

    I'll be damned if I can figure this out.  I have a new late-2012 iMac (OS 10.8.3) connecting to my LAN via Airport wi-fi.  (It will be Ethernet-connected, as soon as a hole is drilled into my new work table, but right now the Ethernet cable doesn't reach.)  My wife uses a 2011 MacBook Air.
    The LAN consists of a flying-saucer-looking Airport Extreme connected by Ethernet to the modem, plus 2 old Airport Expresses.  I have an Ethernet switch too, through which I've got a TV connected and a printer connected. 
    I bought a 4th-generation Time Capsule about a year ago, but couldn't figure out for the life of me how to replace the Airport Extreme with it.  I became so incredibly frustrated that I hid it away in a closet until now.  I  just tried again, with the same results.  I've got both Airport Utility 5.6 (to use with the old Extreme and Expresses) and Airport Utility 6.2.  I was using version 6.2 to set up the Time Capsule... or to try to.  Once again, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it!  I tried so many different Ethernet wiring connections that I now cannot remember them well enough to describe them here.
    I distinctly remember that, when I tried this a year ago with my wife's MacBook Air and Airport Utility 6.2, I was presented at one point with the question whether I wanted to replace an existing base station with the Time Capsule I was trying to set up, but this time I never was presented with that option.
    Is there anyone who can, in essence, hold my hand and walk me through this process step-by-step?  At this point I even need to be instructed what to wire to what.  I feel like a total incompetent.
    My MOST sincere thanks in advance for help!
    (I hope Time Capsule is the correct forum for this question.  I considered the Airport forum as well, but I don't want to cross-post.)
    (And, just to complicate matters, after I get this done-- assuming I ever do-- I want to use the old Airport Extreme on the outside of the house to extend the range of my LAN to the back yard... but that's for another day entirely.)

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • How do I know what my bluetooth password is?

    How do I find out what my bluetooth password is?

    For what?  Some BT accesories will give the pairing code that you need to enter on the iPOd.  The iPod does not have any BT passsword.  Here are the pairing instructions from the Users Guide
    Pair a Bluetooth headset, car kit, or other device with iPod touch: 
    1 Follow the instructions that came with the device to make it discoverable or to set it to search for
    other Bluetooth devices.
    2 Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on.
    3 Choose the device on iPod touch, and enter its passkey or PIN number. See the instructions about
    the passkey or PIN that came with the device.
    After you pair headphones with iPod touch, the product name and  appear on the screen when
    you are viewing audio or video playback controls. Tap  to switch to a different audio output,
    such as the internal speaker.
    Just what are you tryng to pair the iPod with?  You can't pair with a computer or phone (except BT tethering with an iPhone for internet service if you supscribed to the tethering plan on the iPone.
