Need a forgotten password to log on to wifi.

My dad has a router which sends wi-fi to the rest of his house.  I want to log-on to his network using my laptop, but when I try, I am asked for his password, and he says he doesn't remember what it is.  How to address this situation?  Thanks.

If his wireless router is an AirPort Express, the simplest way to get the password is to perform a "soft" reset on the base station. This type of reset will temporarily disable all of the base station's passwords for up to five minutes. This should give you (or your Dad) ample time to change the wireless password.

  • I can't remember my I Pad password to log into my wifi...

    I restored my I Pad and now it wants my wifi password. I can't remember it. Is there a way to reset the wifi password or is it my internet connection password?If so, it will not accept it?What can I do?

    Your wifi password is the password that you use to connect to your wifi network and therefore access the internet through your router - I assume that's what you mean by 'internet connection password'. Presumably you are connected to that network on another device/computer and are posting on here through it, in which case are you able to view its password on that device/computer ?
    If not and if you can't remember its password (it's not written on your router or on its documentation ?) then you will need to reset it - did the router come with instructions for how to do that, and/or does the manufacturer have manuals/help on their website ?

    Hi,
    Good to hear it's Ok
    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows - use the code from my previous post where necessary.
    Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up menu and then select f10 to enter the Bios menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security tab and hit enter. Use the arrow keys again to highlight power on password and hit enter. Enter the current password ( use the code in my previous post ) and then for the new password, just leave this blank and hit enter - do the same for the confirmation field. Press f10, select to save the new settings and hit enter.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • How do I remove need to enter a password to log on to windows 8.1?

    I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from windows 8 using the update in the apps store, since then when I boot the computer it goes to a password screen that says other user then welcome.
    I have to then change this to my normal user then enter my password.
    How can I bypass this so that my computer does not need a logon password?
    I am the only user on this computer.

    Hi all,
    I recently have bought a new laptop with windows 8, I did not like using a password to sign in. After removing that feature by accessing the users and checking the remove password box and restarting the computer I seem to have lost all administrative rights.
    I tried the trust this machine signup online however that did nothing. I am prompted to insert a smart card however I have no account to change to and I have no rights on this account. 
    Any advice would be great,
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    If it has been disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to, and restore the device. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

How do I resold this and utilize my original (old user name)?
