No security set up yet it is asking for an encryption key

I have the WRT54G wireless router.  I am running 3 pc's on the network.  I had some issues with the router the other day.  I restored to factory defaults and now 2 of the pc's can connect no problem but the third is listing the router as security enabled.  It has no security set up on it.  All three pc's are running xp.  Is there a setting on my pc to change?  Do I delete a temp file or something?  I have never set up a key on this router and this is getting to the frustration point.
Thanks!

I assume your router has a unique SSID, and you are not trying to connect to your neighbor's router.
Try deleting all the "Preferred Networks" on the non-working computer.
In the non-working computer, if you are running both Linksys wireless card management software, and WZC at the same time, turn one of them off.
In the non-working computer, if you are running a software firewall, temporarily turn it off.  Note that some users have had difficulty turning off Zone Alarm, and they needed to uninstall it to get it turned off.

  • I need to clear old iPhone, I went to the reset option in setting. It it's asking for a password... I don't recall setting a password up and help for this?  Thanks

    Are you sure it doesn't have iOS 7 installed? It sounds like Activation Lock is on and if that is the case, when you do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content & Settings, you need to enter the password for the Apple ID.

  • Installed airport 3 computers work fine, my old sony laptop is asking for network wep key or wpa key. I tried wpa2 but that won't work and my password

    I Installed AirPort Extreme 3 computers work fine.  I am trying to use my old sony laptop. It is asking for a network key. I entered wpa2. I also tried my password. What should I do?

    Which wireless security type did you configure your AirPort Extreme with? You basically have two choices: WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal. There are actually others, but these are the most common in use today.
    What version of Windows is the Sony laptop running and which service pack level is it at? Do you know what wireless security types that this laptop's wireless can support?

  • My mac keeps asking for my WEP key to get on the internet why?

    my mac keeps asking for my WEP key to get on the internet why? And where can i find it

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • How do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

    how do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

    "WiFi setup"?  I'm not sure I understand.  Are you trying to set up your WiFi network from an iPad?
    Anyway, the answer to your question is likely this:
    Go to Settings > WiFi.  Find your network.  Click the small "i" in the circle on the right of that line.  That probably has the information you are looking for (or the place to set it).

    There are no keys, there is no trial version of OSX (ML or Mavericks) and Mavericks is free
    What have you downloaded, and where did you get it

  • Photoshop asking for a licence key

    I have subscribed to CC and downloaded Photoshop. When I came to launch it was told that trial was over and asked for a licence key. I am paying a subscription and inevitably cannot find any link to contact Adobe - instead have been directed to forums. Can you help? Many thanks Ivan

    there's no key with cc.  you use your adobe id.
    sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app using the same adobe id used to subscribe to cc, Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
    then open an app.
    if that fails, Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

  • I have redeemed my itunes money and want to buy music -yet it keeps asking for a credit card.  Won't take money from my account.

    I have money in my account -yet when I try to buy music it keeps asking for a credit card.  I saw that someone else had the same problem -yet no answer.

    Yes, it's a bind isn't it. I'm also new, just trying to help my young son download free games, but the amount of personal data that has to be divulged for such a simple task was quite a surprise and somewhat overwhelming.
    All to help him with his much wanted iPod which he got for Christmas. Thanks mum!

  • Can i set the ipod touch to ask for a password every time i enter itunes to download music/games etc

    my daughter has a new ipod touch and i dont want her to download music/games/apps etc without the authorisation from me. is there any way to set it up so she will have to give me the ipod to type in a password before download anything?
    thanks in advance for any advice

    Just scroll to the bottom of a screen in iTunes and log out of your iTunes account. She will be asked for your iTunes username and password if she tries to get anything--free or paid.

  • I have family sharing set up, but the request asks for my daughters Apple ID password

    i have family share set up and separate accounts for my daughter and son. When she requests an app she puts her password in fine and it sends an ask to buy to me- which pings through but when I click on it it shows her Apple id and asks for her pw. (as opposed to my Apple id and pw which is set up as family organiser) even when I put her pw in it does nothing just clears and requests her pw again! Very frustrating and might as well not have it on.

    Hi
    I would try this since Apple TV is built to allow multiple Apple Ids
    On you Apple TV
    General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
    Then Switch account to your Apple Id
    Cheers
