| I just installed windows xp on my desktop and got everything running except my wireless. I set up a password protected network and can't remember the password. It automatically fills it in for my laptop so I never think about it and now I think I need to change it or reset it, but can't figure out how ![]() ![]() ![]() .

| yes, you have to get into your router's managment console and change the password for your wireless netowrk. "For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead..."

| Yep...you should have it set up for 128bit encription, which is 26 characters long. You should be able to set it up for auto, where the router sets the characters, or manual in which you can pick the 26 characters. Usually auto is best, because the router will pick several numbers and letters that are dang near impossible to copy for hackers. | ||||||||||||||

| I read the title of this thread and thought to myself, Self -"WhooHoo! Finally a club I'd fit in well with!" Then I read it was just a wireless/password issue.
