    I've recently just purchased a black Macbook and I'm getting frustrated trying to connect wirelessly. I have a wireless linksys G Router and forgot the password. That's problem 1, how do I reset it?

    Next, will the Macbook automatically detect the connection. I just resetted the router, so I don't know.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Reset the router using the reset button on the back (I think you just have to hold it down for like 10 secs). That will clear all settings (including the password). Without a password your macbook will detect it automatically and allow you to connect.
