password

I have hopefully reset the wi-fi password on my virginmedia superhub 2 and I thought I would have to change the password on my other devices to get them to get on the internet but they are all connected without my doing anything,is this how it should be. Thankyou

Not at all, did you change the router password rather than the WiFi password? Did you perhaps "change" the WiFi password to the same one?

No I just changed the wi-fi password or so I thought

Routers have two passwords:
* the "administration password", which allows you to log on to the router's graphical user interface, and observe and perhaps change all the settings
* what I call the "WiFi connection password", which you enter to connect to your specific wireless network - this is the one which all your devices would use

You may well have changed the administration password, as Colin suggests above...

Can you still log into your routers setting page on a web browser? If so just change the WiFi password again but make sure you're hitting any confirmation buttons. All connected devices will lose WiFi connection if you do change it.

System

If you connected them to the router using WPS where you press a button on the router and then connect a new device to the wifi entering a PIN number then it would still work as the WPS PIN wouldn't have changed.
