Hello, I just was trying to reset my wifi password,pressed the reset button on my modem,and now it just connects without asking for password :confused:.

How am I supposed to feed a password into it ? I set it up with windows7 last time,and now am on an Air,and it just doesn't show the place to enter the PIN and set a password,just connects :eek:

With most routers when you do a hard reset like that it resets to open wifi (no password). What brand router is it and maybe someone here can walk you through setting a PW.

Most routers can be accessed via an internal web address.For example Linksys routers are accessed via http://192.168.1.1/

It is D-Link,when I used this method with Win7,it just used to ask me to set it up,no such options this time-doesn't OSX has anything like this ?

EDIT : Thanks,going into the internal web address helped me set the password-thanks :)
