I was going to put this in the tech support forum but its not about the site. Well im at my cousins house and im babysitting but their wireless has a WPA, that they dont know about. Their desktop and laptop are the only things connected and they never need it so they didnt know. Anyone know a way I can get the WPA password without messing up or resetting the router? help will be much appreciated. thanks. also i need it ASAP. :)

Do you mean their encryption code? If so, they should have a paper filed somewhere that their provider gave to them.

i dont know the key that you need to log on to the wireless. and they dont even know they have a password.

Then I don't foresee them connecting to their wireless network anytime soon...

However, do they have AT&T as their provider and use a 2WIRE connection?

pretty much impossible, without packet sniffing the network for at least a day (depending on how much it's used) or unplugging the thing til the memory clears(aka resetting it).

I say just reset it for them and put on a new password, at least they will know it now...
