How to find my wireless router network password?

Question

I can't remember how to get on the page about my wireless router. I know you're suppose to type in your own ip or something in the address bar but since that's not working what am I doing wrong? I just wanna find the password I set up for my wireless network. I forgot it. :((

Additional Details

No what happened was I forgot my Network Key. I call it password cause that's basically what it is.

Everytime I try typing in my Ip in the address bar I get the dreaded "This page cannot be displayed".

Thanks Bob A! It worked, thanks so so much!

You must be wired directly to the router for this
Go to Start-Run-Type in CMD <Enter>
Type IPCONFIG <Enter>
Look at the third set of numbers (Default Gateway)
It should look something like 192.168.1.1
Open up your Internet Browser
Type in the Gateway address in the Address Line <Enter>
This should take you to the Main Page of your router

From there you need to follow along and read every page carefully. All routers are not the same but you should find an area that says Wireless and then Security. If you used WEP encryption, for example, you will find that information there. This should cover you with most routers.

Answer 2

you should be about to tell your browser to go to:
http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.0.254

and there it will ask for your login and password. If you already go that far, and you're still stuck for the password, then you can drop the big bomb, which is to get out your manual or CD with the manual on it or go the the manufactuer's website with the manual and find out how to do a hard reset, which usually involves holing down a button or pushing in a paper clip while cycling the power. Then you'll have to repeat all the setup, but the password will be back to default. BY THE WAY, if you NEVER CHANGED THE PASSWORD in the first place, don't do the reset, just use the default password they document IN THE MANUAL.

Answer 3

you just hold the little reset button on your router down for 10 seconds and it will reset your password so you will have to enter a new one

Answer 4

the ip is 192.168.0.1 and usually the default usename is admin or administrator, no password needed, then you can get to the page where you input network key, but i guess you would need encryption key(password) to connect to it in the first place, LOL, so if you can't connect to it find out how to reset it, the reset button might be at the back of the router

Answer 5

call the company of your router
