When trying to reset airport express password, I've got an error code -16.

A friend of mine gives me an AirPort Express which I intend to use at home to connect it to an audio device in my living-room. I’ve already have a wireless network based on a Linksys router, so the idea is to extend my actual network.
As the Airport was used, it has already a password, which my friend does not remember.
After reading the user manual, I’ve achieve to get into the configuration window, after I’ve made all the modifications (including the device password), but when saving I’ve get an error code -16.
Any help or advice?
PS: BTW, sorry for my English, it still needs improvement ;-)

First you cannot extend your linksys network with the apple expess. at least not in the typical definition of extending a network. you should first do a factory reset of the express to wipe out all prior settings.
you do this by unplugging the unit and holding down the reset button while you plug it back in. wait 10 to 15 seconds before releasing the reset button.
you'll then want to configure the airport express

    Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

  • When trying to reset my login / password, text in red says not connected to internet please verify connection, when the macbook air IS connected to wifi.

    cannot reset forgotten login password.

    You don't need to be connected to the Internet to reset the password.
    Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    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 the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • Error - 6753 and 10057 when trying to setup airport express in XP

    I keep having this problem when i try and use my airport express. My PC can pick up the airport but when i try and click manual setup or continue i get error -6753 or 10057.
    Please can someone help me out with a step by step procedure to set an express up with Windows XP

    Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
    The solution is exactly as the message states:
    You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
    Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.

  • I keep getting error 10053 when trying to update airport express and connecting to the existing wireless network. Please help.

    can someone assist in setting up my airport express? Im not sure what the error message means...

    Hello Jacquimae,
    The only thing you can buy legitimately is the computer and the basic discs that are necessary to operate it.   All Apple apps over and above this cannot be legally sold on.   The machine should have been completely wiped and the original OS re-installed, bringing the machine to its original factory condition.   iPhoto and Garage band were part of OS 10.6.8. Snow Leopard.
    You must not use the original owner's ID.

  • Error when trying to connect Airport Express to Base Station

    I came home today and the light was flashing amber on my Express. Tried to re-connect but keep getting this message: "There was an error setting up this wireless device for WDS. Quit Airport Utility and try again." I have, several times and it still won't connect. Got any ideas? My wireless router is the older Apple version flying saucer.
    Thanks....

  • No mails received when trying to reset password

    I don't receive emails when trying to reset my sync password.
    I have gmail account and have also checked spam folder.
    I have done this several times without success.
    How can I regain access to my bookmarks and passwords?

    There has been a problem, a bug was filed and I had hoped by now this would be resolved. I do not have a working 2nd device at the moment and so am not able to check myself whether sync is working again yet. I may have expected it to be fixed quickly, but I note a bug was filed and is still open as unresolved.

  • I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

    I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

    If you can connect to your wireless network and you're using an Apple AirPort Base Station, then simply use AirPort Utility. From the Base Station menu, select Show Passwords...
    Or, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
    If you can't connect to your wireless network, or you are not using an Apple AirPort Base Station, you can use the procedure that follows below to retrieve it from your Mac's Keychain.
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.
