How to view airport network wep password?

I can't find where i wrote down my network passwod, and I am trying to view my airport network WEP password in System Preferences. However, the check box to "show password" is grayed out and won't let me view it.
How can I view the password?
thanks - sam

I am using the imac that has the built in airport. However, I don't use the actual airport often as the imac is also connected with direct ethernet. But I did set it up at one point to use the airport with my home wireless router.
I do not know if I checked option to have Keychain access remember the password? but maybe I did since when I do activate the airport, it just automatically works with the wireless router.
And I do know the admin password.
essentially, I am trying to find out the password on my mac so I can get my laptop onto the wireless network. And I thought I would be able to check the box to view password, but it's grayed out.
thanks for any help.

How do I change my WEP password?

Hi Everyone,
I let my next door neighbor use my internet for 2 weeks while he waiting for his to be installed.
To do this I gave him my current password.
How do I change it to something else now? I would like to make sure he actually got his own net and is not using mine anymore.
I'm a little confused how to do this easily. There are system preferences and a few airport utility programs.
Can someone tell me the very simple answer.
Also... my password seems to be a long string of charachters but I think the password I gave him was something I made up myself... Im confused.
Thanks very much for any of your answers.

How To Get WINDOWS WEP PASSWORDS To Work

Having problems getting simple simple simple WEP to work with your Airport despite knowing exactly what you are doing with WEP, everything looking fine, and with a network that otherwise has always worked fine before? Might be the case of password used on your clients.
Having set up a few Airports with mixed Windows/Mac clients over the last few years and finally discovering the "0x" prefix double-secret answer, I was trying that at first. But the new Admin client WON'T LET YOU USE THAT or "$" ANYMORE (take note helpful posters who keep giving that as the answer - it DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE). The new Admin client helpfully allows your password to be selected as "hex" now, but restricts it to 10 chars for 40-bit WEP so you get an error with either of those prefixes.
But that's OK because the WEP entry system does work and if you select "Equivalent Network Password" in the Admin client, it will show you the password as you entered it so you can confirm.
HERE however is the trick. The Airport, unlike any other router I've config'd, seems to be fussy about case. Go figure - for hexadecimal, case should not matter, the characters are really 'numbers' so A=10 and B=11 and it should be that a=10 and b=11 as well.
But not for the Airport which is happy getting "0AEB66A88D" but won't authenticate clients which are config'd for "0aeb66a88d". Seems very bizarre as I would have bet my Honore Balzac that the WEP would have been sent in binary at some lower protocol level, but apparently it's sent as a character string. Certainly I have entered WEP keys both ways before into other devices with no problems. Naturally good coders would always convert the case either before sending it and/or upon receipt, but in this case we apparently have lazy coders on both sides - Microslug doesn't 'toupper()' as it sends the string and Apple doesn't 'toupper()' as it receives it...
First a recommendation: get the Airport hardwired to your network temporarily so that as you config you are doing it over an Ethernet cable. This way you can test settings, then still config the Airport without resetting the unit back to "Factory Fresh" every time.
Second the ridiculous WEP answer: Configure the Airport as you think it should be. Then adjust the WEP passwords on client PC's and other devices so that all Hex codes are entered with caps. Voila everything works fine. A bit tedious to have to re-enter the password on every PC or device if you have a few, but better than it not working at all...
Third: It seems to work better on the Windows side if your network is configured as "OPEN" rather than "SHARED" WEP security. This means the router won't request the password, but I'm not sure how much difference that really makes to the client as it should send the WEP key either way...

Welcome platevoltage,

How do I change to 'Key 2' given WEP password

I'm trying to connect my MBP to a secure network (DLink 802.11g router). I have the WEP (40-bit Hex)....however, the Network Administrator told me they're using 'Key 2' instead of "Key 1' (with the router I guess?). Neither of us could find a way to change that setting in the MBP Network Settings.
BTW, I've seen the 'don't use WEP use WAP' comments but it's not my network.
I hoped this thread would answer my question:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1056070&tstart=200
and follwed the link provided by Ned Snowing:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106424
....but the recommendations didn't help. I tried both $ and 0x before the WEP password to no avail.
Airport detects the network and Airport Status indicates a strong signal level
& says the laptop is connected. However, when I launch Safari I get the error message: "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page http://livepage.apple.com/ because your computer isn't connected to the Internet."
Network Diagnostics shows a yellow status light and the "You're connected with a self-assigned address and may not be able to connect to the internet" - or something like that - message
Any ideas of how to change to Key 2? Thanks in advance!

BTW, I've conected to at leat 2 other secure networks with their WEPs (mine and my neighbor's) with no problem, but neither of those routers has been changed from Key 1 to Key 2 or Key whatever.
I've connected to numerous public WiFi networks too with no problem.

In lion how to change wep password

In lion, i cannot change the wep password. I tried to use the network utility, but for some reason, in advanced, selecting the network name does not bring up the edit icon. I can only add of delete the name. Deleting the name does not delete the old passcode. If i try to join the network again, the old passcode is remembered. I tried to delete this code within the keychain, but this did not make my brandnew macbook pro forget the passcode.

It was because the password was typed incorrect. I reset to default and all is well. Thanks for the response.

Where do I put in the WEP password?

I used another computer to change the WEP password for my wireless network.
My Mac no longer connects. I have searched the menus to find out out how to put in the new WEP but all I find is info about an "Airport" which I am sure I do not have. My wireless modem is a Netopia and it works fine with all PCs except the MAC.

Open Network in *System Preferences*. Choose Airport ,this is your wireless component on the MacBook, Where it says *By default, join:* choose *Preferred Networks*. A window will open in the network page now click the plus sign. A separate window will pop up. Put the *Network Name:* in. Then for *Wireless Security:* choose *WEP Password* then click OK.
I always pick the *Show AirPort status in the menu bar* this gives any easy access point for airport and shows a signal strength indicator when on.

How do I set up a password

How do I set up a password for my airport extreme network?

AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) - Wireless Encryption
Setup the AEBSn
Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
Wireless Security: <None | WEP (Transitional Security Network) | <b>WPA/WPA2 Personal</b> | WPA2 Personal>
Wireless Password: <enter your desired password>
Verify Password: <reenter your desired password>

WEP Password Only Works on 2 out of 3 Computers

I'm having trouble with one of three computers connecting wirelessly to the internet.
The three computers are MacBookAir, iPad and PowerBook G4. The first two connect fine. The PB does not.
The router is a plain vanilla Linksys WRT54G. I have it set for WEP Password protection. The wireless network name appears on all three computers. I have entered the 10-digit password on each. The PB keeps returning the not-very-helpful "There was an error" when trying to connect.
I tried trashing network and internet config prefs. When running the network assistant on this PB, it says the password is incorrect.
I have checked the password multiple times, and it is correct. I have typed it again, and the same error occurs.
I also checked the MBA to see if I could see the password, but for whatever reason the "show password" box is grayed out. I have retyped the correct password, however, and connectivity is still good. I have no idea how to review the password on the iPad; I just typed it in and it works. There are no network diagnostic tools available that I can find or any visible place where the number may be verified.
I have turned off and turned on airport. I have deleted all network choices in the airport networking settings, shut down and restarted with the same result. (Airport Status in the network pane has a red dot and says, "Airport is turned on but not connected to a network."
I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have a suggestion?
The PB is a 1.5G G4 running 10.4.11

First, why use WEP? It's next to useless as an encryption techology which can be broken in less than 15 minutes with commonly available tools on the internet. Use WPA or WPA2 Personal. All 3 of your systems support both of those.
That aside, did you try using the Powerbook and WRT54G with no encryption, as a starting point? If that doesn't work, then there's a different non-encryption-related issue. If that works, try WPA or WPA2 Personal.

Airport express not allowing PC or xbox on to network with WEP password

Hi there
Ever since we switched from PC to Mac about 5 years ago our airport express (purchased 2007) has not allowed a PC or other gaming device on to it's network. I have two MacBooks at the moment which needed to be configured with slightly different IPv4 addresses in order to be on the network. That was about a year ago when we bought a new MB and I thought it strange when both computers would not connect and it was a bit of a drama lugging both computers to the store in order for the techs to manually fix the issue.
Now we have an international student living with us and it is very important that he is able to connect with his PC to our network. My son's DS and xbox is never allowed to connect to our network using the WEP password that we use for our Macs. It is a very frustrating situation now as I do not think that the Mac store can help us out since I asked for advice a while ago when trying to connect my son's gaming consoles and they said they could not help with non apple products. This is a little odd as I thought that Airport would connect all devices. Our internet provider cannot help us as it is NOT a modem issue.
I should also add that at least twice a day our Macbooks 'fall off' our network and we have to turn the airport off and on in order to reboot the connection. I also have an iphone and that connects to our network although occasionally it will ask me to rejoin and prompt me to enter the password which I do but it rejects it. I usually press cancel and for some reason it connects fine despite not accepting the password.
My question is this: Can I connect other devices to airport and if so, how? Or is our airport faulty and should I replace it? I really don't want to buy a new device if the same problem is still going to occur.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Can't connect to a WEP password protected connection on XP Pro SP3 on MB

Hi all
I've been trying to connect WiFi to my G5 tower with my MacBook in Windows XP Pro via Bootcamp
and when I don't have any password set on my "internet Sharing" prefs, I can connect fine BUT the moment I put a password (either 40 or 128 bits) I just can't connect on my XP why is this? Every thing is up to date on XP and have SP3. When I try this on the Mac OS X side on my MacBook with or without a password it works without any problems. So what can I do to log into a password WEP connection on the XP side??
Thanks!!!!

I am having a similar problem. I can connect with my MacBook 13" thru airport using a name it always recognizes and is my own. When I try to connect with the iMac on my desk thru the same thing, it asks for a WEP password. I probably set it up myself, but have no need w/my lap top, but in the same house it wants a WEP password for my desk top(iMac), and I have no clue what it is.
One 10 meg cable connection to Linksys modem and then to Linksys Wireless-G BB router. Shouldn't I be able to get access w/o plugging the router into the desktop ???
Sorry for posting this in the wrong place, but I am not sure how to put it anywhere else .

Why is network connection asking for WEP password all of a sudden?

Just recently, my airport or wireless network seems to have gotten weird on me. I've used the same wireless network flawlessly for years and tonight, I noticed my internet seemed down. I tried connection doctor to determine if it was my ISP or my network.
After determining that something was wrong with my network or router, I realized that the internet is in fact working. I restarted my router several times. The airport finds my network but keeps asking me for my WEP password. I don't recall creating one, and have no idea where it would be saved. When logging into 192.168.1.1, I see the network there but no where that I may have created the WEP password.
Maybe it's been so long since I created this network I'm just confused. Can someone tell me how to set a new password for my network, or purge this network and create a new one with a new password? Obviously, my internet works because I'm on now through wired ethernet connection.
Thanks!
Bob

HI Robert,
Open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select Airport on the left then, select Airport in the Menu at the top of the pane then click the Wireless tab.
Where you see: Wireless Password
You can reset your password there or create a new one. Bear in mind that WPA/WPA2 Personal is the recommended security level. Click the pop up menu next to: Wireless Security. Set to WPA/WPA2 Personal then create your password. You can click the black lock icon for help.

Wifi WEP password not working on Windows side, works fine on Mac side

I have not been able to get connected to my wireless connection with windows xp however I have no problem on the mac side. The problem is that my password is 12 characters (not 13). This WEP password works fine on the mac side and also works fine on my iphone. It also works on an older Dell laptop, so it just doesn't make sense. If my password is supposed to be 13 characters (as windows tells me) how come I can connect to everything else?

Hmmmm, interesting! Well, ASCII or HEXADECIMAL, both were designed pretty much for the same purpose, to allow a computer to understand what the heck it is we want them to do (since computers only understand binary - 0100101110011 .. etc).
That character limitation I would guess is probably a limitation of the router, I have no idea, but it seems like that would severely limit security and if it were me I would get another router (but that's just me ). Xnav might have a point, but to this day, OS X has never done that to me. It wouldn't hurt to give his suggestion a try though. Hope you get it worked out soon. I'm sure it's frustrating.

WEP password from my iMac G4 flatscreen not support by Time Capsule

Hello,
I've just installed my new Time Capsule (dual band) today in combination with my new MacBook Pro. It all works fine, however I also have an 'old' iMac G4 17" flatscreen and here is the problem: although I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 I can't connect to the newly designed WiFi 802.11n network as I used to do so. When I fill in the correct WPA-personal password (the same as I use for my MacBook Pro) the button OK doesn't get highlighted so I can't click on it. It seems that my old iMac only support WEP-password security, but I can't believe that.
What do I do wrong and what should I do in order to get my old iMac G4 17" flatscreen connected to my new (Time Machine powered) wireless network?
Thanks in advance for your swift help!
Kind regards,
Marco

Hi,
I've set the parameter for 'Radio Modus' for the Time Capsule on:
'Only 802.11n(5GHz) - 802.11b/g' , because I don't know the difference between all these settings.
Still I can't log in with my iMac G4 flatpanel as the AirPort software which is part of Mac OS X 10.4 by the way only supports the following modus:
PASSWORD options"
- No
- WEP-password
- WEP 40/128-bits hex
- WEP 40/128-bits ASCII
- LEAP
- WPA (personal)
- WPA (business)
- wpa2KeyTypes
Non of the WPA password options seem to work!!??@
Do you perhaps have an idea how to configure the 'Radio Modus' for my Time Capsule and what kind of Password methodology I should use accordingly?
Thanks!
regards,
Marco

Linksys and WEP password

I have a linksys WRT54G for my wireless router.. The wireless router works great but I want to set up a password to access the network. I went to 192.168.1.1 and setup the security for WEP 64 bits 10 hex digits. When my G4 laptop asks for the WEP password and then i put in the password it comes up with a box that says problems with joing the airport network. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
