Password for wireless

I can not remember my password at all and have no clue how to find it of be able to set up a new one. I just bought an ipod touch and cannot hook up to the wireless internet at my house because of the password? Any help? Thanks

What model router do you have?
Open a web browser and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1.  If you kept the default password here, try "admin" (leave user name blank).  Check the manual for the default password if this one doesn't work.  Hopefully you have remembered the password if you have changed it (this is not your wireless access password).
Navigate to the Wireless Security section.  Here you will find the wireless security key (password) to connect devices wirelessly.

  • 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.

  • Reset password for Wireless routers

    How to reset the password for wireless routers? Do I re-setup again? I lost my CD and manual, what can i do?

    Hold the reset button on the router for 15 seconds and the router will be restored to factory defaults setting.
    Then type the router's IP 192.168.1.1 in your IE address bar and hit the Enter key, you will receive a login promot, you will leave the username field blank and type admin in the password field to gain entry. 

  • Network diagnostics asks for password for wireless network with no security

    hi
    I am trying to connect my Mac Pro to a wireless network which has no security settings. Other Macs in the house connect to the network with no problem, but the Mac Pro doesn't. I am setting up a new network as I have moved house. In the previous house the wireless worked fine on the Mac Pro.
    When I click on the Airport Icon in the menu bar, the search wheel shows and it finds the network, but when I click on the name of the network typically it doesn't connect. Occasionally it does connect, and I briefly have internet access, but then the number of bars on the Airport Icon gradually reduce and then I can't connect again.
    When I run Network Diagnostics from Safari, it finds the network also, but then typically asks for a WEP password for the Wireless Network when I haven't added any security to the network (occasionally it doesn't ask for a password and I can connect briefly)
    I have tried resetting my Time Capsule and creating a new wireless network with a different name, but still experience the same issues.
    I wonder if someone has any ideas as to what might be going on, and how I might be able to troubleshoot this.
    Thanks
    Nick

    It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

  • Password for Wireless Connection

    I am trying to use EasyLink to set up my new Linksys Wireless-N router. When I type in my SSID it is asking for password. I typed what I thought was the password, but it did not recognize it. I can't go any further and I don't want to lose the connectivity of all my other wireless computers and devices. Is there a way around the password?
    (Edited subject to appropriate one. Thanks!)

    The password it is asking at Easy link tool is Login password for router ....
    It is not accepting any password .... use admin as default or just skip that screen.....
    See it above step works ....

  • Password for Wireless Connection is getting lost in ATV

    HI, since I updated my ATV to 3.01 my password for the Wireless connection is getting lost at least once a day! I always have to type in the password new.
    I had this problem already some months ago, but then it worked fine. Now after the latest update the problem pops up again!
    Any idea what this could be?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Whilst I understand that losing the password is an issue and a time consuming chore to retype back in, surely your first issue is why you keep losing connection to need to reconnect in the first place.
    What type of security are you using on your network, have you tried changing channels to avoid interference.

  • TG797n v3 log on to 10.0.0.138 User name and Password for wireless set-up

    I have a TG797n v3 on Windows 7 to a Dell XPS via ethernet cable. Has been working fine, but. . . just aquired an iPad Mini for family use.When trying to configure the iPad Mini, I can't get past the log in requirements of the "found" wireless network. My laptops read it OK but the iPad keeps asking for a Password for the Telstra***** wireless network. I have tried every conceivable password I have ever used without success.I tried resetting the TG797, (by switching off the power for 1 minute, and pressing the rest button for 20 seconds, and leaving the power on and pressing the re-set button),and now it is asking for a User name AND a Password to enable log in to 10.0.0.138. I can't even get to the set-up page anymore!! I have re-installed the software from the CD that came with the T-gateway, but at no stage does it ask for a password. It asks for the SSID and the Wireless Key, but nothing else! and connection to the internet is established.(Otherwise I couldn't type this, could I?) So, where, and how, do I either retrieve the Password hidden in the TG or reset the password the iPad is looking for???I have configured the TG797 by disconnecting and re-connecting (no passwords asked for) I have searched all the Help topics and they ALL say " Just enter your User name and Password" . . . yeah, great if you can remember it or even resetit!!  Please, someone, there must be a simple (or complex) answer as a solution. Thanks in advance, Ian King.   (Telstra help, . . . anyone?) 

    Hi dumbojojo, 
    Im sorry to hear that you are having difficulties, 
    The password you need is located on the underside of you modem unless you have already changed it yourself. It will often be listed as a WAP PIN.
    If this doesnt help please see here Change wifi password or here  WiFi Troubleshooting
    Finally, you are still having issues, please contact support on 133933 or Live chat here http://tel.st/hsc3

  • Password for wireless network not remembered

    I am stuck with the following situation. I have a wireless network overhere, which is a 802.1X-type network which consists of a huge number of different base stations connected together, which requires me to login and has TTLS (PAP) type identity control.
    When I configure this into the Internet Connect application, with my password, it connects. However, on reboot, the Finder immediately asks for my password. When I look in Internet Connect, it's still there, but when I look in System Prefs, the password is not there (only a blank field). When I enter it, click OK, and check the dialog again, the password is already gone into the wind.
    I deleted all entries of the network in all my keychains, reinstalled my system and now I've set the keycahin entry for the network accessible by all programs, but that doesn't help me either. I had a Macbook here not long ago, which didn't suffer from this problem (however, it did not reconnect after sleep/reboot all the time, but never asked me for my password).

    Do not check "Remember Networks this computer has joined."
    In Advanced>Preferred Networks, enter the name of your Network. This is how I have mine set up and I have not experienced any more problems like yours, although I did in the past. In Preferred Networks, I have redundantly entered the same name twice, just in case it skips off to the second one. Probably not needed, but it's been working fine like that for a long time.
    However, since I don't have an Airport Extreme, I don't use Airport Utility. Definitely try rebooting the AE. Might try applying or reapplying the 10.6.8 Combo update.

  • Password for wireless printing

    I use this printer in my office and it is set up wirelessly, is there a way I can put a password on it so that others in the office can't access it and print on it from their computers?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @jennypooh624 
    Unfortunately, if the printer is connected to the network, others that are also connected to the same network will be able to connect to the wireless printer. If you do not wish to have others use the printer, your best option would be connecting it to your computer via USB cable, and removing the printer from the network.
    I hope that helps you!

  • Password for Wireless Networks

    I succesfully installed a WRT54GS (v7.2) wireless router on a PC and enabled the security function. When I try to access the wireless network I named and set up, I get prompted for a password, but did not issue one when I set it up. I would like to acccess this network with both a Windows XP and Mac notebook. The windows prompt call for a "Network Key" on the Windows unit and the Mac asks for a "WPA password". How & where can I access this password or change it to my own choice?

    Go here and download the manual and read it.  It will tell you how to set and change the security password.

  • Can't enter password for wireless router!

    New Verizon MI424WR Rev.F wireless router Win7 Pro (64) & Vista Business (32) laptop I reset the password and logged in once. Since then I have been unable to enter the password to log in again. Every time I press a single key the password box shows (3) dots instead of a single dot (representing the character entered) I get a "login failed" error when I ignore the number of dots displayed. I have tried the following: Reset the password through In-Home Agent. Wireless keyboard & USB keyboard Firefox browser& IE browser Rebooting the router Rebooting the computer The same thing happens from my laptop connected to the wireless network. What is going on?
    Solved!

    The "3 dot" thing is intentional, and not a problem. It's a method of "security thru obsfucation" to hinder "shoulder-surfers". What are you entering for the password?

  • MacBook suddenly saying invalid password for wireless

    I have a wireless network with an airport extreme and an airport express for streaming music.
    My computer has been connecting to my network without problems for the past two years, and I have not changed a thing.
    Suddenly my music stopped playing and iTunes said it could not find the airport express. At this point, I was still connected to the wireless and it was working fine. I tried restarting everything, but now when the computer tries to connect to the wireless, it says invalid password. It is not. My iPhone can connect to the wireless just fine, so I know it is the computer.
    When I take an ethernet cord and plug it in my computer it can miraculously connect to the wireless. When I unplug it, it stays connected until I turn my computer off, and then it's invalid password all over again.
    I've tried deleting the keychain and resetting the pram. I don't understand what caused this problem.
    Help!

    Exact same problem. iPhone and ITouch connects but my macpro and Imac could not connect to my airport. My imac connected about 10 min ago but the macpro is still saying invalid password. Have you located a solution?

  • I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

    i just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

    Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
    Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
    Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.
