How do you set up a password on your airport express

need help setting up a password for my airport express

You do that with the AirPort Utility.
If you've already set up your AE then you've used this app.
It's in the Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.

  • How do you set a security password to control access to an external hard drive?

    how do you set a security password to control access to an external hard drive?

    The only way to reliably protect data, especially on an external hard drive, is to encrypt it.  Permissions don't have to be respected.  One way to encrypt data is to create an encrypted sparse bundle disk image with Disk Utility.  See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1578
    (Be sure to use the 256-bit encryption.)
    Alternately, you could use some whole-disk encryption, though I have no experience with any of the software for doing that.  You could try the following:

    I don't know that I would recommend the product being advertised inappropriately by keynesis.

    You will need to enable file sharing in System Preferences
    as well as setting up sharing and permissions for the
    directories that you want shared.  You may also want to
    setup a non-administrative user or allow limited guest
    access.  The user would require entering a user name and
    password to make the connection, but would allow remotes
    to change files, if set up tat way.
    As for serving iTunes media, better to post in the iTunes forum.

  • How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express?

    How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express?  I cannot find where I saved the passcode and need to add a new non-Apple device to the network.  I'm guessing that I will have to reset it and setup the network again, but do I unplug the network cable before or after pushing the reset button?

    You can put the Express in "soft reset" mode by depressing its reset pushbutton momentarily - about one second.  This will lower its shields for two minutes, long enough for you to use AirPort Utility to reset its wireless network password. There is no need to disconnect any cables when you do this.
    Or, you can retrieve your existing wireless network password from a Mac you normally use on that network.
    Read the following to determine how to retrieve your password from Keychain:
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password"not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

  • How do I set up wireless printing to my Airport Express?

    I run my 17" MBP through a DLink wireless router which is located next to my modem in my basement. I have an Airport Express station (not the Base or the Extreme) which I used to use for wireless iTunes serving to my stereo, but which I now wish to use as a wireless print server in my study upstairs. I am not, however, using the Airport Express station for internet.
    I can't find any useful instructions or step-by-step guides to set up a printer on my Airport Express. Can anybody point out how to do this and/or refer me to the appropriate KB article?
    Many thanks,

    Yes but they don't seem to be making it to the post to be deleted Punctuation seems to be a possible cause
    If your goal is to use one network with the AE and your other router online the AE needs to be connected to the modem as the base station as the AE can only be a wireless bridge with an Airport Extreme or connect the AE via ethernet from your other router
    The printing is usually as easy as plugging in the printer and selecting it from your printer list AE is a print server and I use a 4 port hub with 4 printers connected They used to be listed as Rendezvous printers but lately mine are just showing as a connected printer but is printing wirelessly
    Finder > Applications >Utilities > Airport Setup and Airport Admin utilities are pretty straight forward for setting up the routers. I have had and there are still issues being reported with the AE and certain configurations. My first gen MBP1.1 could see it but not connect and my MBP2.2 connected immediately and settings on both machines were the same.

  • How do you set the router password on wrt54gs?

    I have a wrt54gs wireless router.
    I pressed RESET for 30 seconds.
    I did not do any power cycle.
    I typed 192.168.1.1
    I left username empty and entered ADMIN as password.
    I enabled MAC addres clone.
    I noticed I got Internet connection.
    Then I tried to prevent my kind neighbors from
    accidentally using my router.
    So I changed router password.
    I clicked on SAVE SETTINGS.
    At this point I was asked to enter username and password
    to AUTHENTICATE CHANGE.
    What is username?
    What is password?
    This did not work with "username empty and ADMIN as password".

    "Of course, setting a router password won't keep your neighbors from using your internet."
    So what is the correct way of keeping your neighbors from using my router?
    Another thing I notice.
    Because of a router password I put in (even though I got error messages
    from doing that), then I closed out the whole thing.
    Subsequently I typed 192.168.1.1,
    my router did not acccept 'admin' as password
    and
    it only accepted the router password I put in.

  • HT4259 How to you extend my existing network using an AirPort Express?

      My current configuration is a Linksys wireless router that I'm connecting to the AirPort Express via Cat. 5 cable.  Only get a flashing yellow light.  Help.

    I got it working but here is the deal.  It is not intuitive; you have to set it on "Create a wireless network", not "Extend a wireless network".  You use extend a wireless network when you do it all wirelessly when the signal from the base is strong enough.  But since I couldn't reach my wireless network to boost it, I had to use the cat. 5.  So I guess it does make sense since I'm going from my WAN by cable to creating a wireless network.  For some reason I thought it was going to be seamless with my existing wireless network so therefore I was extending my wireless network.  Wrong.  Thanks for all your suggestions as I think I would have quit long ago without you help. 

  • How do I set up a wireless network using Airport Express

    I know very little about networking but want to set up a home network so I can distribute my music in the home using iTunes and AirPort Express units. I am hoping to control the music using Remote on iPod touch. I do not have a network setup or anything. What are the step-by-steps?
    Thanks.

  • HT1515 Can you set allowable access times on the Airport Express?

    Does the Airport Express allow you to set what times of the day it can be used to access the Internet?

    At the same time as saying it is global it is also set to specific MAC addresses so it should not actually matter if the setting is global if you want to restrict a particular client. It just cannot apply to all guests wireless.

  • How do I set the date/time on my Airport Express?

    I am using an Apple Airport Express to connect to a wireless router in another part of the house. However, I am unable to set the date/time correctly and so the logs all start from Dec 13, 0hrs.
    I have tried using an internet time server, but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab just under the row of icons
    Settings for Time Zone and the option to Set Time Automatically are there
    Click Update to save your new settings and restart the AirPort Express
