HT4623 wifi networks ask for a password to join: what password is it?
Each time I select a netwrk to join for wifi, it asks for a password. I don't what to type as password. Anyone knows?
1. To be fair, I didn't name that network; it was the guy who installed it - believe ot not, Most people get these installations done by others. 2. Just because you know that you can name yours, doesn't mean everyone knows that or even want to do it themselves. 3. If I could find that in the documentation, I wouldn't have come here to raise the question. The documentation didn't say anything about WHERE was the "key" written down. (Here they called it "key" as opposed to "password.") 4. That expression "business propieter" was not applicable, obviously I was at home if my network's name started with HOME- and you missed that part. 5. Your hypothetical example didn't help at all; all conceptual.
I'm not going to have serious issues if a Good technological savvy person knows to decipher how basic the problem is and that the person asking is not as savvy as them by the simple way the ask the question. Those who are good detect how to better guide the seekers by asking more questions. I was clear when I said I needed clear steps. I don't have any serious issues, you just need to ask questions to better understand the issue. The other person answered my question in a short paragraph: straight to the point. And that story about strangers meeting and you sharing your password with them, frankly sounded creepy; you may be the one having serious issues since everyone is advised to NOT SHARE PASSWORDS. And that's a very basic security advice.
Have a good day.

I am unable to connect my IPad to the internet via WiFi, when asked for a password then attempt to join I get the messag "unable to join the network" however if I use my laptop in the same physical locationand using similar procedures I am able to conect.?
What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds). -
My ipad wont connect to wifi, it asks for the password then just loads?

Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Then reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up -

I set up airport wifi with a WEP password, but it never asks for the password and anyone can enter my network...what to do?
Is it possible to backtrack your way out of the keychain?
Yes:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Delete every entry that has both your Network Name with this Kind.
What can I do to test or reset?
You can completely erase all the base station's passwords by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset. You can also temporarily disable these passwords for up to five minutes so that you will have enough time to change them using the AirPort Utility, by just performing a "soft" reset. I would recommend this one first.
This would also be a good time to consider using WPA or WPA2, instead of WEP, as WEP is no longer considered secure.
I got the airport extreme based used with no softward and set up with reset on airport base and followed instructions.
You can download a copy of the AirPort Utility, that runs on OS X Tiger here. -

Why does my wife's calendar app ask for the password to my calendar account?
My wife and I used to have iPhone 4's. We each have a Google calendar, and we had our calendar apps set up so that each iphone would show both calendars. We never had any trouble.
Recently my wife and I switched to iPhone 5c's. Since then, whenever my wife tries to enter something into the calendar, the app asks for the password to my account. I don't have that problem on my phone. I'm pretty sure the phone apps are set up the same way. What gives?It is possible that those 2 calendars are syncing Google accounts and being shared. My friend shares her calendar with me and it shows up in my calendar.

Hi All,
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for a password. Then I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but how do I find the network administrator.Whomever provides the wi-fi.
To what wi-fi network are trying to connect? -
TS1398 my wifi ask for a password, how do i get a password?
my wifi ask for a password where do i find or get a password?
It's the same password that you used to connect your computer to your router. You can get it by logging in to the router's configuration page with a web browser. You can check the router manual to learn how to do this.

I have gifted an airport extreme to a neighbor and I assumed she would be able to connect and "create a new network" with a new password on her iPhone. That didn't happen. It keeps asking for my password. What next? Thanks!
Have them perform a complete power recycle of their networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Also, make sure that they perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort (as described in the tip) to be sure to return the AirPort back to its "out-of-th-box" configuration.

Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting to my email id and password
Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks.Hopefully this will me get you back up.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?
you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!
