At my parents house, would like to be able to use my iphone through the wireless network, but they dont know the paassword for the sodding thing.

Is there any easy way of obtaining it? Im here for a few days, but dont want to have to rely on using their laptop.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Make and model of router?

Best bet might be to wire into it, and look at the config.

If they cant remember the admin password at all, make sure they know the broadband login/pw and factory reset it. More details when you've posted the make.

Given that its you, get somebody else to pick the thing that's connected to the mains up and look at the labels underneath, eh?

As above about the labels. (Too slow typing that up, got interrupted) smile

Do you mean the password to access the Wifi?

If so and they haven't changed it, and are using an ISP provided router it's often printed on a sticker on the router itself.

All sorted thanks, it would appear that it works off the number on the back of the new router.
As opposed the password from the ok'd one, but thanks as always for the replies
