i have lost my sky wifi security password and i was wondering if i can get an instant reply and talk to a person and not a computer about how i can get my wifi password.On the router ther is a sticker with all these codes on it and none of them seem to work at all when i type them in on my other laptops and computers
I got a D-Link router not too long ago and I set it up in an odd way, the router password I gave it during the setup would not be accepted but the Network Security Key (the randomly generated alphaneumeric code) was accepted. I used it to connect all of my wifi devices.
The router password (which doesn't work), the "network name (SSID)", the network security type, and the network security key were all saved on my desktop. My computer has since suffered a critical crash and had to have it's hard drive erased. I still remember the password, the network name, and the security type. But the NSK (the thing I need to connect in place of a password) has been lost. It was this long random string of letters and numbers that I couldn't remember for the life of me.
I also remembered my Admin password, so I am able to log into http://192.168.0.1, but in here I only know how to change the regular password. I don't know how to access or change the NSK. change the security setting so that I can use the actual password instead of the NSK? Because of the crash I lost my iTunes libraries so I'm going to have to reset all my iOS devices, which are primarily what I use wifi on. If I reset them, they'll forget the wifi network and the assosiated NSK password, so I won't be able to use wifi at all.
I just installed a Netgear WiFi extender. In order to set all the preferences, it wants a password and login and I have no idea what that is. I tried everything I could think of, but no go. how to reset the pw and figure out what my login is? Have had no response that addresses this problem. I am using Win 7 and I have an ARRIS cable modem. I've already gone thru the users guide with a fine tooth comb and have found nothing. I have been using WiFi on Netgear equipment for years, so it's not a new network. I also tried the login=admin and password=password and that didn't work.
i have a Linksys modem BEFSR81 v.3 and am trying to reset my wifi password for secure connection. When i log into the the admin page, to my surprise, I could not find the security feature to create WPA or WEP password. i'm stumped. This has never occurred to me before on this modem.
had to install new router(d link) on PC and since then cant get wi fi on my laptop or i pad. keeps asking for password for net name , which i have forgotten.
I misplaced a slip of paper with my WEP security code. I bought a new wifi TV and want to get it online. I have a 5~yr old dlink wireless router and TW internet. I tried to see if I could pull the code from my Droid 2 and PS3, but no go. Haven't tried the Xbox or Wii, but I imagine they won't show it either.-Can I log onto my router get the code straight from it?-Is there an easier way?-What is the address number to access my router?-Can I change the code without needing the original (if all else fails)?
How do i find my networks password that I have lost. When I try to sign in on my Iphone it ask for a password that I don't remember. I am using a apple wireless computer. I had this password put on there so no one could break into my system but now I can't get in with my i phone or if i have visters they can't use their computer because I don't remember password.
I have a couple of 877s which have "no service password recovery" set and something has happened to the flash or the IOS has been lost for one reason or another.
When trying to boot the routers, they all display similar to this, which then repeats:
[code]....
Or words to the effect of there being no IOS at all, unable to boot, but the result is the same, it just loops and there's nothing I can do to break the sequence!
I've tried taking the flash from a working 877 and replacing the card but this doesn't work and unfortunately, putting the once working strataflash card back in the working 877, it gets the same problem!
Recovering the password for a protected network.It can be difficult sometimes to recover a password for a home wireless network or a small to large business. There are several ways to recover such sensitive data and I would trust you to recover in all honesty for the sake and security of the business you work for or even your home network.So how do I recover the key if I don't know the gateway login to my router? the end user will likely default their router to recover the sensitive data but after defaulting they then realize that the SSID key has now been wiped out. The problem now is that all other trusted devices will be disconnected and the set up for the router; well that's just common sense, you would need to set up your static all over again (if applies) and your security as well. Use other devices in your house, trusted devices that have already been able to connect. Windows 7 is the protagonist in this role. Windows 7 enables the use of wireless profiles to be saved for faster connections to be made within the broadcasted range of the SSID. Btw SSID is the network name you see appear in your Wireless Manager. I.e.Bat_Cave; Starbucks; Barnes & Noble Wifi etc.
TIP #! SSID - service set identification; two categories apply to SSID SSID - basic service set identification
This applies to ad hoc wireless networks that do not have access points
SSID - extended service set identification
An infrastructure wireless network that has an access point; however this term can be used either SSID or eSSID. You will see eSSID with Point to Point; backhauls, switches, subscriber modules or comtrols; there are tons others but I won't stress other device types. Rarely will you connect to an AP, likely the type of service you receive depends on what you connect to, radio equipment like Canopy, Ubiquiti and Motorola are technologies you will see that are wireless based. What you are seeing is coming from a smaller device within your home or office network. If you use a Verizon air card, it's likely connecting to a nearby AP or a nearby radio which is pointing to an AP.Back to reality now, in order to locate profiles used in Windows 7 we head to the location by two categories of view in the control panel:
Small Icons Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing > Manage Wireless Networks (This can be found in the left navigation within the vertical blue strip.)
Category Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing > Manage Wireless Networks (This can be found in the left navigation within the vertical blue strip.)
What you will see here may be a small list or a large list of every network you have connected to since you purchased the notebook. Now certificate trusted networks will appear here however they may not contain a key. The company I work for requires certificate of authentication and then the use of password linked to Active Directory as long as my computer is on the domain controller. Each wireless profile you see appear here has its own configuration and each configuration is bound to the SSID or network name. It's like the title of a book with its own story. You can have two (2) books with the same name but a different story. When I say different story, I am referring to a different encryption standard; cipher and wireless password. You can see below I have two (2) wireless networks with the same name but notice the different settings.
Bat_Cave Standard: WPA2 Personal Cipher: TKIP Key: -pass51- Bat_Cave Standard: WPA Personal Cipher: AES Key: #Off5id35!
The reason I am showing you two (2) configurations is because when you are recovering a key for a network, you want to make sure the configuration is the same or else the door will always be locked until you correct your errors. The network name we have is Bat_Cave and we need to recover the key for the SSID that has a Cipher of TKIP.Right click the profile name and click properties. This will allow you to change SSID configuration on the notebook ONLY; in case changes have been made to the router or a buddy changed his encryption standard on his home network. Yeah it's easy enough just to remove the profile and reconnect; but that would be too easy, you wouldn't learn anything.Once you are in the properties of the wireless profile, click the [Security Tab] up top and you will see: encryption standard, cipher and the key; and as a plus, a check box to show you what the key is. Show the hidden contents and copy or write down the key.By using other trusted device on your network or business, you can utilize the resources that you have, to recover a password on your home or business network so long you have the permission from your superior and a good heart for positive intent.
I purchased a used WRT54G router that has DD-WRT firmware installed. I do not have the user name and password for it. How do I get around that issue so I can set the router up on my network. I would like to keep the DD-WRT firmware.
I am now using a neighbor's wi-fi connection because my computer doesn't allow me access to my wif-fi.My server once entered my computer and since then I think it changed my key code.I get as far as the window for 192.188.1.1 and when I type admin it says denied. Very frustrating because my cell phone is now off my neighbor's wi-fi and my kindle lost the connection to downloadI was on the live chat and paid Linksys
I am running Windows 7 - 64 bit on my laptop. I currently have Avast Internet Security installed and I have tried to uninstall the Avast software as I wish to change my antivirus software. I have tried uninstalling in safe mode using the Avast Clear utility. Unfortunately after using this utility the Avast program still remains on my hard drive in Program Files which I then have to delete manually. After doing so and restarting my computer I have no internet connection and the only way I can restore my internet connection is by copying the Avast program back into my Program Files.
