Jasper 157 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ive moved in with a mate of mine, and he has wireless. Its a secure connection, but hes forgotten the password. Is there anyway I can find out the password when I use his computer? (Its obviously connected to the signal).Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,442 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Open up his router page, go to security and then in there will be WEP or other types, and there should be a KEY, you just have to enter that when you find his connection on your own pc/laptop Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper 157 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Do I access that by going to http://10.1.1.1 or something like that? Im trying it but its saying I need a password to access it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Lift your router up and check for a label on it, as long as you (or your mate) haven't changed them, the username & ans password will be written on it ... something like Username: BTINTERNETPassword: PASSWORDGo to your web browser, type in .. 192.168.1.0 ...it will ask for the above, that should access your router page.From there you should be able to find the security key .. i presume (if it hasn't been **** out) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper 157 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Im typing in '192.168.1.0' but its just telling me the connection has timed out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Check the bottom of the router like Ace said. If not, what ISP are you with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper 157 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yeah I checked underneath it, while it doesnt say username and password, I can figure out which one is which. Problem is, address ACE gave me doesnt work, and the username/password doesnt work on the first page I accessed (via http://10.1.1.1)Im in Australia by the way, so maybe its a different address down here?

Ace 3,556 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Sorry Jasper, can't help you much more than that.Only know this because I had to re-set something in my Router settings and that's how I accessed mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

klbs-RFC 21 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 What type of router do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 lol, ok Jasperclick on Start > all Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > a black box will appear type in this this black box > "ipconfig" without the " obviously this should bring information. Your basically looking for your default gateway, should be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 I know off by hand if your router is a D-Link its 192.168.0.1 / Netgear its 192.168.1.1 / Belkin 192.168.2.1 / Virginmedua HUB/SuperHUB its 192.168.0.1Anyways when if you can tell me the make I will know the default login for it and once your in there will be a wireless section. Where is will show you the passphrase or network key... this is your wireless password. Any further help give me a PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to everyone who helped, especially MasterD BY the sounds of your IP mate you've got an older model of the netgear router. They all use 10.1 IPs. Glad you finally got it.
