wireless password

[watchdog]

I have a telstra wireless broadband modem. The wifes laptop went in for repair & now the modem wants a password for connection. No one remembers what it was. Is there any way around this ? thanks

connect the modem via Ethernet cable, open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, that gets you in the modem's settings, go to wireless security section and see what the password is, or change it to anything you want.
if the modem asks you for a user name and password it's usually username: admin and the password one of these: password or admin or leave it blank.
try this and see what you can do

don't you have to be connected in the first place to show the key, or does it work regardless?

[best4less]

It will show you the key that is saved to your computer without being logged in
I am keeping this one on my USB, doesn't even need to be install

[Aboulaly]

If it was formatted, this application is no good for him though.

[best4less]

On a formatted computer it wont be a any good

I didn't see formatted anywhere
But I wasn't looking to hard either LOL

Here is a couple of lists of default IP addy's user names and passwords for routers if you have to crack in to your wireless router as Aboulaly posted above

Are you talking about the password to get into the wireless router/modem to admin it or a password for the wireless to connect so the laptop can surf?

I would try
admin <no password>
admin admin
admin password

You could see if you can find the user guide for that device and see what it says is the default username and password.

connect the modem via Ethernet cable, open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar

says "cannot display page"

[Aboulaly]

which modem/router are you using champ? are using telstra 3G wireless netcomm router?

[best4less]

try this if its a new one

[best4less]

Go in to your network conections and see what your IP details are and that should be your routers IP addy
you can see mine is 192.168.1.254

Thanks everyone , I got it sorted. On the bottom of the modem there is a sticker with a WMP (wireless modem p/word ? ) number. Entered that in the laptop & all OK.
