Invalid Password for Router Network

Has anyone come across a solution for this problem?:
When connecting a MBP and a MB to the same network via Airport, the WPA Personal password is accepted from the MBP but not from the MB. There is no mistake in the spelling. The MB is my friend's and he needs a secure network.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Joe

You may need to change the type of password - check out this discussion:

Also, I learnt since that a $ character in front of the password might work.

Help, urgent please.
I'm back at my friends and still the same problem. I can't connect his MB to his secured network - no problem if I disable the password, and no problem to connect my MBP to his secured network.
The TCP/IP page in Advanced of Network Prefs is showing blank so I have changed the Configure IPv4 to Manually and filled in the boxes. Still no good. Any help, please!

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
The network password will appear in the box.
Quit Keychain Access.

If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

Where is the hyphen (-) on the apple TV? I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

Where is the hyphen on the apple TV? I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

A few options to try:
They hyphen should be next to the + on the character map.
If you are still having issues, provided your ATV software is up to date, you can now connect an Apple Wireless Keyboard through bluetooth connections.
Change your network password so it does not use a hyphen
Good luck!

I've forgotten my Wi-Fi password for a network set-up years ago and am trying to include a new iMac on the same network. How can I do this?

I've forgotten my wi-fi password for a home network set-up years ago on a Powerbook. I'm now trying to add a new iMac to the same network so I can have 2 hooked up. How can I retrieve my password for the network I created or can I set-up a new one? I did try the latter, but it didn't seem to work on the new iMac for some reason. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

HI, Welcome to the Forums...
The password may be stored in your keychain on the system you set up the original PowerBook.
Run KeyChain access in the utilities filder and see if you have a Airport base station password entry, from this you can reveal the password.

Shawn

Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.

Password Remember Button does not function; Can't input 3rd Party Passwords for Social Networks/Emails.

My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.

I have no master password set, I have also read the "Password not remembered topic", and it didn't help.

Okay, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, and the Remember button still didn't work. After checking the error console, It had the following message again:

After I Evaluated it (In the error console) it gave me a slightly different version:

I read the Troubleshooting extensions & Themes, but It didn't help.
When I tried to read "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager" I get a page that says:

Also, this error occurs in ALL 3rd Party extensions. It can't log me into E-Mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, anything. The error message has a window title of [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION] if that says anything.

The password for wireless network was changed. Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
Suggest you give that a try.

My phone locked and i keyed in the number to release it, but it needs now a password for the network how do i find this

my phone froze, so i restarted it with the pin number, but now it needs further info and needs a password for the network . how do I retrieve this password?

In needs a password for WHAT network? If you're talking about a WiFi network, you'll have to ask whoever owns the network. We have no way of knowing.

TS1398 Where do you get passwords for wiFi networks that pop up under "choose a network"? When I tap one it asks for a password. When I tap "join" nothing happens (join is also faded).

How do you find out who is operating a network and how do you then contact them for a password?

Copied from my previous post.
If you don't have access to an available wi-fi network - one that is password locked/protected, you can't join that network - not unless you know the owner of the network and the owner gives you permission to access the network, which means giving you the password for the network.
If the wireless network is not locked/password protected, you should be able to join it. If a free public wi-fi network, many require agreeing to their terms of use which is done via a web page with Safari. A free public wi-fi network at a restaurant that I frequent requires logging in each time with a website provided - without a user name and password. My iPhone connects to the network automatically but I won't have internet access until I login with the website provided automatically with Safari.

Stuck on set up, won't let me re-enter password for my network

I'm stuck on setting up new iPad, it won't let me re-enter password for my network.

If you are activating right on the iPad itself (if the iPad came with iOS 5), restart the iPad and start over again.
Hold the sleep/power button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to power up again.
Then just start over again.

Airport keeps giving me the message that I entered an invalid password for my wireless network.

When I use network preferences to connect wirelessly to my wifi home network and enter the correct password that works on my iPad and other computers, I keep getting the message that I entered an invalid password. I have checked my keychain and made certain the correct password in saved there. Any suggestions?

It is asking for your security phrase not the router's password, in case you are entering the wrong password. If you are sure you are entering the correct phrase, you can reset your router to factory defaults then set up your security again.

Trying to create a password for router and wireless adapte

I was reading through alot of posts and just couldnt find an answer that worked.
I have a linksys wireless router, never had a pass set up on it, and lately
I find someone is connecting to my internet and I would like to put a password
on it. I found these instructions... but it wouldnt accept admin as the password
to allow me to create a new one. I followed these instructions.
"The default password of the router is admin. If you have set up a password before, it will not recognize the default admin.Hold the reset button of the router for 10secs and it will retrieve the default admin...To change the default password, lauch internet explorer(pc should be connected to the router hardwired), type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1--it willl prompt for a username and password, leave username blank and password will be admin...It willl bring you to the set up page of the router..click on the administration tab and from there you can create your new password for your router... To encrypt the wireless network refer to our website, www.linksys.com/kb and search for answer id 759...it will walk you through with the process..."
I am using windows XP for OS and the Wireless G? The router is on my main PC
and the adapter is on my other PC. How do I go about obtaining a password on this? The Model # for the wireless piece is WMP54G not sure what it is on the actual router.
Message Edited by FullSmile on 09-17-2006 11:11 PM

If the router is not accepting the default admin password even after a reset of 10 sec you can hold down the reset button for 30 sec and if that doesn't work even,the other options would be to change browser settings,try a different comp, try upgrading the firmware of the router through tftp.exe.You can download the tftp.exe file from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network.
