I need to find my wpa password on my airport extreme

Since being connected to a different internet provider in Austrailia I can not seem to stay connected to my home wireless internet on my airport extreme.
It continues to ask for my wpa password and I dont remember it.   Unless I re-boot my computer I cant seem to go online.
Any suggestions?

If you don't remember the password, you can retrieve it from your Keychain as follows:
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."
Double-click on your network name listing.
Click on "Show password."
Enter your Mac's administrator's password
Your wireless network's password should now be displayed.

  • How/where do I find the password/passphrase on airport extreme to set up printer?

    I am trying to set up my printer, and I have the Airport Extreme router. It asks for a password/pass phrase and states that it should be ont he bottom of the router. I have tried every number and letter that is on the bottom of the router and still I can't get the printer set up. It keeps stating that I have the wrong WPA password. Anyone know where I can find this WPA password?

    It's the same one you use when connecting to your wireless network with a computer, and no, it's not printed anywhere on the Extreme.
    If you are using a Mac that you use with that Extreme, I have a way to determine it.
    If not, you will need to reconfigure your Extreme with a WPA password you remember.
    Let me know which procedure you would like.

  • When attempting  to set a password on my Airport Extreme guest network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What can i do to set password on this network?

    When attempting to set a password on my Airport Extreme Guest Network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What does it mean. Or what i need to do to correct it.

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

  • Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?

    Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?
    I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.
    Message was edited by: JPA3003

    There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
    You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
    The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
    Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
    Let us know if you are able to do this.

  • Where do i find the MAC address on my Airport Extreme?

    Where do i find the MAC address on my Airport Extreme?

    Your AirPort Extreme has two MAC addresses, one for Wi-Fi, which is called the AirPort ID and another for the wired connection, called the Ethernet ID
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    (Here, I am assuming that you are using AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion )
    The AirPort and Ethernet IDs are on the summary page

    This is my setting.
    1. Set airport extreme  as "sharing-single-ip" mode. The wireless network functions correctly.
    2. Connect external HDD to MBA. Partition it into single-partition with Mac OS extended (journaled).

  • I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

    I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

    If your password is incorrect, perform a "soft reset": momentarily depress its reset button, and launch AirPort Utility. A "soft reset" will lower the Extreme's shields for about five minutes, so that you can configure it with a new password.
    AirPort Utility is in your Mac's Utilities folder.

  • HT1918 i need to find out my passwords

    I need to find out the answers to my security questions

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • HT4628 How do I find the WPA password, so I can connect NETFLIX?

    How do I locate the WPA password to connect to NETFLIX from a SONY Blue Ray DVD Player?

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for an item of type "AirPort network password" that has the same name as your network. Double-click that item and check the box labeled Show password. Enter your keychain password (same as your login password) when prompted.

  • How do i find the password for my airport extreme

    I have had an airport extreme for a number of years. Originaly it was set up buy the company I bought it from. However recently I have had some problems with my airport extreme and would like to upgrde the firmware, but it keeps asking for a password of which I have no knowledge of. My question is how do I get this pass word or how can I upgrade the firmware

    You will need to factory reset your Extreme. More info is here:

  • Setting WPA security on an Airport Extreme Card

    Hi all I’m a newbie to the wonderful world of MACs having just purchased a dual 2.3 G5 incorporating an Airport Extreme card.
    Now, in my simplistic world I figured that I could use the G5 connected to the internet via an ethernet router to act as a base station and allow 2 PC laptops to have wireless internet access too. Also, it would be good to allow these laptops to share the printer connected to the G5 and, absolutely ideally, share files too.
    The internet sharing part of this all this works fine up to a point – that point being until I try to secure the wireless network! I’ve tried using the WEP solution (in both 64 and 128 bit modes) but the laptops just won’t connect, even though they can both actually see the network. I also understand that WPA is more secure than WEP anyway so I thought I might try that instead. Trouble is, I can't find where I can set this up for the AE Card.
    So basically – could anyone tell me, in simple terms, whether I can use just an Airport Extreme CARD (rather than a full Base Station) to give me WPA security in the setup that I’m trying to create?
    It seems that the card itself DOES support WPA if it’s connecting to an already-enabled network, but all I can find in the configuration options for the card is the WEP security (which I can’t get to work AT ALL!) I tried using the Airport Admin Utility to set WPA-Personal mode (which I understand is equivalent to WPA-PSK mode?) but that only seems to be for the Base Station.
    I have spent the last 2 days trawling through as much information as I can find (including on these discussion pages) and still cannot find an answer.
    If anyone’s still reading this rather long post and could offer any help at all, I’d be very grateful indeed.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Andy
    PS I LOVE the MAC!!!

    I need to set the network id to 10.10.1.1 will a new airport extreme do this?
    Sorry, but no.
    The AirPort can only be set to 10.0.x.x, 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x

  • Can't find usb drive that plugged in Airport Extreme

    Hello
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2; AirPort Extreme (5th Gen), I plugged my usb drive (500GB WD Passport) into the AirPort Extreme, but the Finder won't show it.  It's just not discoverable.
    Please help. Thanks.

    If the drive is formatted correctly for Mac OS.....the AirPort Extreme will appear under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
    Then when you click on the AirPort Extreme, a folder representing the hard drive will appear in the area to the right. The first time that you do this, you will probably need to click "Connect As" in the upper right corner of the window to enter the AirPort Extreme device password.
    When you double click the folder representing the drive, this will mount the drive on the desktop.
    Here, I am assuming that the option to display "Connected Servers" is checked in Finder Preferences. It should be checked by default. To double check...
    Click anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of the screen
    Click Finder, then click Preferences, then click the General tab
    Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Connected Servers"
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as being able to supply enough current to a hard drive, so you may need to use a powered USB hub.

  • Can't find printer connected by ethernet through airport extreme.  All I get is a generic error message - I'm using printer IP address as address.

    Old imac using snow leopard printed just fine to Ricoh cl2000n printer that is connected to airport extreme via ethernet (as was the imac). New iMac with Lion otherwise same cable configuration and the computer cannot find the printer.  It searchs and spits out a generic error message.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Is your printer listed?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    If not then you need to get the driver and install it.
    Otherwise you may want to reset the printing system.

  • How do I find a hard drive connected to Airport Extreme Base Station?

    *Apple Says:* "If your base station supports it, you can connect a USB hard disk to the USB port on your base station and computers on your network (both wired and wireless) can connect to it to access, share, and store files and data."
    Cool. So I followed the instructions. The drive is recognized by the base station and listed in the Airport Utility. It looks like it's ready to go...
    So... How do I access the drive? I don't see it on my desktop, it's not under network. I've tried "Connect to server..." and browsing, I can't see the drive, anywhere. Yeah, I've searched the crap out of this issue on google and this message board as well as apple support knowledge base. I'm sure this is a simple issue and I'm just missing the obvious. Help me out.

    Hello Timothy Uhl. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Try the following to mount the disk...
    o Click on the Desktop to enter Finder
    o Go > Connect to Server...
    o Enter 10.0.1.1 for the server
    o Enter Disk Password
    o Connect
    If this still doesn't solve the problem, let's double-check your disk sharing settings...
    AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) - File Sharing Setup
    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:
    Disks - File Sharing
    o Secure Shared Disks: <With disk password | With base station password | With accounts >
    (Note: Choose "With a disk password," or "With base station password" if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose "With accounts" if you want to secure the disk using accounts.
    If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk.)
    o Guest Access: <Not allowed | Read only | Read and write>
    o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port: (unchecked)
    (Note: Select the "Share disks over Ethernet WAN port" checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.)
    o Advertise disks globally using Bonjour: (unchecked)
    o Workgroup: <Windows workgroup name>
    o WINS server: <WINS server IP address>
