How do I reset the network name and password?

I just bought an Apple Airport Extreme base station. When I was going to set up the network, I found that it has a name, apple, for the network. I do not have the password to go in further. How do I have to do to rest the whole thing?
Thank you for your help.
Robert

Hold the reset button on the back of the unit for 5-10 seconds. It will reset the name to Apple<lastdigitsofyourextremeid> and will remove the password. You can then use AirPort Utility to configure the password to what you want it to be, if any.

    Reboot with the installer disk that comes with the computer, you need to hold c while booting, under the second or third screen is a menu option to reset the password.
    This is necessary if you don't remember the password. However if you know it and just wnat to change it, go to system preferences, accounts and then unlock it by typing in the admin name and password (the current one). Now click on the admin account on the side and you can change the name by typing one in the full name: box and the password by clicking the change password button.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

    How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox?  It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

    The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
    There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
    There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
    You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
    If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

    Robert:
    May I strongly urge you to get a set of installer CDs. They will come in handy as you need them for much more than just installing the OS. From time to time, e.g. you may need to boot from the installer disk to Repair Disk (you can Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on the HDD, but to Repair Disk, you must boot from a different volume). And if you had installer CDs changing the password and creating a new Admin Account would be a breeze.
    You can get universal installer disks at applerescue. Another option in your situation is to do a complete re-install. That will not only enable you to create your own admin account, but it will automatically change the computer short name. However, for that you need installer disks.
    Meanwhile, <a href=""http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121786&tstart=0>here is another article that should help.
    Good luck.

  • How can I hide the user name and password from the url address?

    Good afternoon every body,
    I have a form running with Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 and when I run the form on the web it shows the user name and password of my data base. Can anyone of you please help me to hide the user name and password, if there's any way of course?.
    Thanks a lot!!.

    Luis,
    Then, as inolau's notice, create logon screen (or use the default one) and force the users to logon at runtime. Do not pass username/password as parameters.
    inolau,
    True that if the connection is specified in the config it will be the same for everyone. However, every case is different. For example one of our apps gets S3 credentials (from non-Oracle S3) as session parameters. It uses this common db connection to validate some stuff with the database, read security definitions and then it re-connects the forms using the credentials.

  • How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

    How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

    Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

    I have an MFP 1217nfw.  It was working fine wirelessly.  Then my router stopped working properly.  I bought a new router and easily set up my computers, iPad and iPhones to work with it.  But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that it will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and password that the printer uses to connect).  Anyone know how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it were fresh out of the box?  Thanks for your help.

  • Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?

    Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?  I feel that having this information readily available to any who can turn on my device is a security flaw.
    I have change the network name and password and would like to secure that information .

    Worked with VZW tech support and finally found where you can disable or mask  the display of the network name and password on the Jetpack LCD screen.  You need to access the admin screen of your jetpack (http://my.jetpack/) .  From there, navigate to Jetpack Settings --> Click on Wifi tab -- Click on the Wi-Fi Options link halfway down the page and it will show the two settings that control the display of network name and password.
    As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...here are screen shots showing how to get to these settings. ...
    The LCD display will show ********* for the network name and password if the two checkboxes above are unchecked. I really think these settings should be disabled to be begin with.
    Oh well...posting here to share with those interested...
