If you are using an Apple router, you go into Airport Utility (in the Applications -> Utilities folder).
Choose your router in the list on the left and double click. A window will open.
Within the Airport section, click on the Wireless tab.
You'll see the two fields to enter a new password.
When done, click on Update and your router will apply the settings.
If you aren't using an Apple router, you usually access the admin by going to http://192.168.1.1

Ok I have accessed the admin but only option for changing is user name password. I don't think that's the share key.

Ok, in basic security settings what it has for the wep key is different than my actual wpa shared key. There's no clear guide on changing the wpa key.
