Hello, what wireless router do you got?
JC -
If you are linksys try:
admin (some routers leave the user name blank)
admin (password)
As those are the defualt UN/PD. -
Try pushing the router button in for 30 seconds -- I just tested this out for myself and it works.
-
You can connect to the router via cable and access the admin page to reset your wpa key. Alternatively you can just reset your router to its default values
-
It would probably be best for you to connect with a cord...that way you don't lose your other settings.

Mine is a Ruckus Wireless
**Edit: Also, How do you reset it!!!?? -
-
so after i push that the pass should reset and nothing pops up?
-
-
It says after I 'reset' it that the default pass, 'password' isnt the right length
-
Is it where you type in a random phrase and it gernerates the key for you? What security are you using?
-
I found the manual, but however since I dont know what model do you have. Did you hold the reset button for at least 4 seconds?
JC -
Different Manfs. have different default user/pass for their Routers- if you have the documentation check that - What is the full make/model of the router?
-
If you reset your router you have to configure it again which is rather silly. Connect your router to your PC via Ethernet, and in your web browser, enter your Router IP address, usually: 192.168.x.xxx
If you dont know your IP address it should be in your router manual, or on a sticker on the botton of your router.
Once your in, go to the tab that says something like "Wireless Security" or "Wireless Encryption" or "WEP/WPA codes" and then type in your new password. Make sure you use WPA-TKIP wireless encryption as its the most secure security methord. Click apply, pull out the wire, and your router should be recognised. Enter your WPA code, and your problem's solved.
