Forgot Wi Fi password!

bsod

if you changed the wifi password on the router, repeat the process you went through to change it (on the desktop)

As there is no mention of your router type in this thread, google is your best bet for a quick solution, if the isp supplied the router, it will come with paper instructions, backed up by a website with instruction to aid this process.

ok , being connect by Ethernet will not reviel your password UNLESS the machine also has wifi and you have logged into the router before


the easiest way now would be to just reset your router , (small hidden button that you use a pin)


once reset it will default to the password written on the bottom


just a thought " I think some weeks ago I changed password from the one located on router," , how , from your PC?




check your router model , and google reset

bsod

resetting the router to defaults is unnecessary, and likely to cause further complication

the OP does not sound confident in getting to the router settings via Ethernet , and there is a god chance they have now forgotten their admin password


any suggestions?

as in tell us the model number?

If the OP has never actually changed the router password, it is probably the code written on the base of the router:

http://www.howtogeek.com/131338/how-to-access-your-router-if-you-forget-the-password/

That will show you how to find it, but if you tell us the make and model of the router, I may be able to show you how to access the webpage of your router. That should also be on the base of the router, unless you have the box that the router came in.

Alternatively, if the router came from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and you have a phone number or website for them, contact them and explain the problem. If it is ISP-supplied, they will know your password.

Router is 'Virgin Super Hub' I really do appreciate you people helping me with this issue, thank you.

If the superhub is running with its default settings, then you will be able to get to the setup by putting the address 192.168.0.1 into your browser. It will then ask for the admin password, which will be changeme (unless you did!)
From there you get access the wireless settings and see what the password is set to. Alternatively, you can reset it back to factory settings. The reset button is in a different place on the Superhub and Superhub 2, but you can google for the particular model if you no longer have the documentation for it.
