Hey guys whats up im the one with the cracked ipod that cant sync my ipod touch to itunes anymore . Anyways im always at a friends house i try to use wifi but all his neighbors has lock passwords or if im cruise down the road or at school there is always passwords. So does anyone know a trick to use the wifi with passwords? I always try guessing the password by just typing the name of the wifi and it works , i even get the full bars but cant access the web or itunes . So whats up with that? O and i know its illegal but at least im not steeling anything from apple.

Hey, here's an idea! Go away. Sounds good, right? :D
 
Do you realize the wifi is protected by a WEP Key, not a regular password like the kind you use too log on to this forum. The odds of guessing the Key are extremely extremely remote. You have a better chance of a getting struck by lightning 3 times in the same day, then guessing the key.

The Ipod Touch can't crack WEP keys like a computer can, it just doesn't have the capabilities.

Sorry i didn't know i was sounding like a complete idiot. Also i know my grammar,spelling aint the sharpest in the shed.
 
in order to answer the question.......

If a WiFi signal is password protected you have to ask the owner of the network for permission to use it. If they give permission they will have to supply you with a password.

To gain access to a network which you either don't own or don't have permission or access is illegal...even if it is open.
